since MPG wont be that much of an issue id look at a bigger engine car something like a Lexus IS250
+ Buttery smooth Smooth 6 cylinder engine
+ Extremely quiet, at all speeds
+ Lots of toys (heated, cooled seats, auto/electric everything)
+ EXTREMELY RELIABLE! pretty much bulletproof if looked after
- Rear leg room isn't great,
- Boot is a little small and back seats don't fold forward
- Fuel consumption isn't great (you'd be looking mid to late 20's mpg)
I wouldn't describe it as "Fun" to drive but it's a fast enough and makes for a fantastic cruiser perfect for a daily commute. You'd need to up your budget to about 4k for an SE. Don't be afraid of high mileage on these, these cars can do moon mileage and still feel like they've barley even touched 60k look for one with good service history.
A GS300 will also get you from A to B without breaking and in absolute comfort but it costs a tad bit more to run, (£600 per year VED)
Another choice for a small fun reliable economical car would be a Suzuki swift sport. Mazda 2 is also a good shout so is the the Mazda 6, but with all old Mazda's be very aware of rust
