Buying my first car- what would you recommend?

I am an 18 year old girl and I'm looking to buy my first car. I work full time and will mainly be using the car to get to and from work. I have a budget of around £5000 pounds and I would ideally like a car with low insurance, reliable and would suit a first time driver. What would you recommend?

Citroen C1, Peugeot 107, Toyota Aygo. From 2012 they were free tax (under 100g/km CO2) and £5k should buy a used 2012/61 base model.
