Toyota Yaris, Ford Fiesta or Citroen?

Our daughter is planning to buy a new car. She is considering a Toyota Yaris T2 3-door, a Ford Fiesta or a similar model Citroen. I would appreciate your advice. She will only be doing short journeys most of the time with occasional longer trips from Bournemouth to Warrington.

They're all decent choices, although she may find a Mazda 2 1.3 TS2 more fun to drive, as well as just £30 a year to tax.
