Mini cooper would be her best bet, can get them for under 5k now.
Tell her to stop being a mileage whore, and that cheaper model new cars with lower mileage are worse to drive, worse for reliability etc than a good quality used one wth more miles.

The mini is 7 years old, i'd not buy a kia so that would put me off, 500 was originally an option but not for 5k.
vx220 is for me 
I'd have a newer low mileage car as well tbh unless I wanted something specific that was older.
Higher miles cars aren't better even if she has slightly unrealistic expectations.

tbh 20k or even 50k is not high mileage

20k isn't, 50k is depending on age.

Wee brother's got a polo, she'd have to buy that one and we aren't particularly enamored with it either.

Corsa was my first suggestion but she doesn't want one.
