i had a mk1 1.8 mondeo (insurance group 10) and it was a great little car, don't go for a mk5 escort because they are truly terrible, were universally slagged off at launch, one of the few cars that managed to be worse than its predecesor (before anyone mentions the escort cosworth, thats not really an escort - its a shortened sierra 4x4 floorpan with a karmann escort looky likey body on top!)
alternatively a vectra isnt as bad as clarkson makes out, although i've never owned one
if you want a bit of space and comfort then the vauxhall omega 2.0 is a very underrated car and you'll pick them up for peanuts, insurance group 12 on that one iirc
back to your original question, ford ka is very cheap to run but definately has the wrong image for a man about town, but have you considered a fiesta? i'd stay away from french built cars (citreon, renault, peugeot) as they can be troublesome
