The Xsara is not too bad in coupe guise, but I think that only came with larger engines, so would fail on the road tax criteria.

You are clearly already practising bangernomics, so I'd suggest you keep at it. Don't spend £2,500, as it's a nasty amount. If anyting medium to big goes wrong you can't afford to write off £2.5k, so you pump money in. Spend 800-900 instead.
For real economy look for a Peugeot 205 diesel, for example. 60 mpg, still a few around that are tidy, but it's a 1.8, so no cheap tax. An un-loved but very good car might be a Nissan Primera. Last forever, and lots at £999. The money you pend on the more expensive tax disc will come back in spades on its long life and reliability.
tinyurl.com/kmscr is an example of a very respectable Primera (from what can be seen) that you could take a member of the opposite sex in.

When was the last time you tried to pick up a member of the opposite sex in a Primera. Possibly only those who would be more at home in an RSPCA van.

You are talking to a man who didn't own a car at all until he got married - I just made sure all the young ladies either had a car, or didn't mind a taxi ride back to my flat.
If you need a flash car to look like a stud, then you are already on a loser, IMHO.
