A cool small car?

Hi, I’ve got around £4500 to spend on a supermini, must be reliable, do 50+ mpg, have air con, some street cred, up to 5 years old.

I’ve been looking at slightly older MINIs and the old shape Corsa.

Your thoughts & suggestions please?

MINIs are expensive. Probably not enough for a Mazda 2 1.3TS2, but if you can find one, go for it. Old shape Fiesta 1.25 was very reliable.
