What's the best small car for £6000?

I am looking to buy a used car and have a £6000 budget. I do a lot of miles, most of which are motorway driving and am torn between three models (all 2013 plate) - the Hyundai i10, the Volkswagen Up and the Seat Mii. Which would be the better out of the three?

As long as it is the i10 1.2 then it has a bigger engine than the Up and Mii and should have balance of 5 year warranty. Not as trendy as an Up or as much fun to drive, but likely to be more reliable and, of course, 4 doors. The KIA Picanto is similar, but doesn't steer as well.
