Anyways, I would give another vote to the Skoda Fabia - basically a VW Polo underneath but for a lot less money and supposed to be very reliable (backed up by a real-world recommendation from here, which is always good). The Seat Ibiza is also the same car underneath as well so may be worth a look.
Someone has beaten me to the Renault Modus suggestion already so that's worth a look (kind of a mini-MPV). Other cars that spring to mind are the Toyota Yaris Verso and Honda Jazz but I'm not sure if your budget would stretch to one of those (can't access the relevant sites at work
).
