1st up I applaud your modest needs, not many people these days would consider 100bhp as sufficient let alone ideal!.
2nd thought was what size of car you need (physically), but then again, you only really have the options of something up to the size of a golf/focus. So to that end, I'd suggest, in no particular order, toyota auris 1.33/1.6, mazda3 1.6, honda civic 1.4, ford focus 1.6. Moving down a notch in size, I'd also consider the toyota yaris 1.33.
Despite my earlier comments, it might be worth considering a slightly larger engine (unless you are restricting yourself for insurance reasons) as the penalty in mpg could be negligible. I'm thinking specifically here about the 1.8 civic over the 1.4 as I'm sure I've read on here before that the economy benefit is very small!.
