Saxos are too small for anyone over 5'8", Micras are a bit pedestrian (not literally) and Corsas handle like boats. A Polo at that money will be a few years older and the 1.0 is slower than walking.
A '99 Fiesta 1.25 handles great, doesn't have a lot of room but it's better than a Saxo and parts are everywhere. It might be a Ford and therefore probably doesn't have the absolute best reliability, but for the money it's a decent, interesting car.
Plus, if the mileage is low and you don't keep it too long, the reliability aspect should be fine unless you're very unlucky anyway.

That would depend if it were the old or new model. The latter is 200% better than the old one.

I'm 6'2 and had no problems in my Saxo.

Okay, perhaps not *everyone* but a mate of mine (6'2" and size 12) had one for a year but sold it because it was too small. He bought a brand new Clio instead, which he has been very happy with over the last 2 years and 40k.
I also drove the Saxo (I'm 6'1" and size 9) and I'm amazed he stuck with the car for that long.
