Question new Job :) but need a car to take the miles of the scoob

Guys, after been dissapointed with the 260 evo I have decided I want to keep the beloved my02 wrx but want to keep the miles of it - currently at under 30k but with a new turbo and brakes on the way understand that the car is being pushed and maybe not to good as a every day car

the new job will mean an extra 10k miles a year and want a small cheap run about, something that the girl friend can use ( still on L plates ) and will give 100% reliability

I have even thought about a new Ka, for just over 5k and 3 years trouble free driving, can i get better ( yes I know its a KA )
would like a polo but still not sure if its worth the extra for a car that will lug round my fishing gear and park in all mannor of car parks.. working for the nhs has shown me that nurses are the worst driver

If I could have only took a picture today, the scoob was blocked in by 4 cars either side with about 6 inch gap around my car

what would you guys recommend - adverts welcome

cheers

Toyota Yaris the vvti engines are great 1.0 1.3 and 1.5 cheap sevicing and parts much more interior space than a Ka but shorter over all. 5k will get you 1.0 or 1.3 later spec (beware the early models didnt have ABS as standard) you should be able to get a level or 2 up from base.
