Best car for a 100 mile commute?

My partner is looking to change her Ford Focus Cabrio, she does around 20-25k miles a year and has a budget of around £10,000, she wants something economical and reliable, so far we have considered another Focus and the Honda Civic. Are there any others we should consider?

I doubt that she'll find a Civic 1.6iDTEC for £10k, but if she can that is a 65mpg car. It's probably the best 1.6 litre diesel.
