Ford Fiesta or Focus with petrol engine (except the 1.0 Ecoboost) and manual gearbox.
Toyota Yaris or Auris with petrol engine and manual or CVT auto (not the automated manual used for a few years)
Honda Jazz or Civic with petrol engine and manual or, in the case of the Jazz, CVT auto and in the case of the Civic, t/c auto (not the automated manuals used for a few years)
Mazda 2 or 3 with petrol engine and either manual or auto gearbox.
But with such a small budget, best to just keep it as simple as possible, n/a petrol engine with manual box and buy on condition. Any car can be a dog at this price, look at the MOT history to get an indication of whether the car has been looked after, along with warning signs of impending rust related doom.
