Buying a small car for the school run - what do you recommend?

I live in Rural Ireland I am looking for a car with low cc (tax pruposes) to carry one adult and four primary school children to school every day. The roads are not great around were I live so I would like to get a small car that wont mind a pothole or two. What do you recommend?
