£2500 will get you a Yaris. You don't want a small car (which is smaller than small) but they are reliable, cheap to run and hold their value well.

They do a 5 door Yaris 
Look at Corolla's then. Won't be the most recent shape for that money though.
My girlfriends dad bought a saloon Nissan Almera with 56k on the clock, T-reg for £1k earlier in the year. Absolute bargain and great runaround if you ask me. Aircon too.
