Need a used city car - which model is best?

I'm looking for a small car (ideally secondhand), preferably Volkswagen as I've had a Polo for 10 years. I'd therefore like to consider a UP! or its SEAT or Skoda equivalents. I just wondered what your view was on these and which if any you would consider first?

The Mii and the Citigo don't look as good or carry the status of the Up, but all are built on the same line so reliability is the same. The very strong competitor is the Hyundai i10 1.25.
