Recommend a cheap, reliable car to replace my parents' Nissan Sunny?

I need to find a replacement reliable, cheap-to-run car for my parents. Their current car (an M-reg Nissan Sunny) has rusted to the point where it is going to cost more than it is worth. I would like to get them something that's easy to get in and out of and has power steering. I have £2000 and could do with some advice.

The Nissan Almera Tino. But check the front crossmember very carefully because that can rust badly.
