Recommend a narrow car to fit into my garage?

I'm looking for a secondhand car that is narrow enough to fit into my garage (1.96m) and also allows easy access for my aged parents. I've found a Fiat Idea, but it's six years old and I'm worried about reliability. I currently drive a Y-reg Fiesta, and have about £5500 to spend.

Maybe a Nissan Note.
