Search for reliable small cars – up to max 2500 €

Good day Dear Motor-Talk Community, I am looking for a new reliable small car, so far I drive a Ford Fiesta MK5, built in 2001 and am also super satisfied with the reliability, the only thing I don’t like about the car is the look, the relatively high fuel consumption and the rust problems on the bike runs. I still want to leave the Fiesta in the family because he never let me in and first had a previous owner. I fell in love with a Fiat Punto 188, but you always read separate opinions on the Internet, and how reliable is it really? As I said, optically exactly my case. I also like the Opel Corsa C, or the Peugeot 206 very much. When it comes to the Japanese I find the Honda Civic quite ok, or should the Toyota Corolla be super reliable or? Are there any other candidates who can keep up with the reliability of the Ford Fiestas and no great rust problems and many other problems? even offer a lower fuel consumption? What also bothers me animally are rattling suspensions, maybe there is also an inside tip in the view? I hope you can help me with my decision.
