The focus / fiesta was one I was considering but the rear windows on those always felt a bit cramped to me compared to the golf / polo
If you ever do make this choice (though it sounds like you may not), for what it's worth we have a Golf (wife's) and a Focus (mine). Can't totally compare them as they're quite different specs, but the Golf is better in all ways for pottering around in the city, easier to park, better visibility, better blind spots etc.

Awesome, thank you, and to @grams, @hurricane_run, @Fox and @hugo7. Should've mentioned I'm in the city so as a petrol it would need to be something newer than 2006 for the ULEZ. Really good shout on the VED Tax, grams, I hadn't even considered that. The Saab is utterly beautiful but comes up as £565 a year!
The focus / fiesta was one I was considering but the rear windows on those always felt a bit cramped to me compared to the golf / polo - I'll see if I can have another sit in one, it might've been a wrong impression. Cheers all.
Mini is SUCH a great shout though. I had semi-written them off because my sis has one and I don't want to bite her steeze but there a tonne of nicely specced Coopers and Cooper S from 2012 and under £6k. And they're such great fun to drive, and so nice for a small car on the motorway. Appreciated.
