When I bought our Mazda3 back in March I settled on the same budget (up to 13k) and looked at everything in the price bracket. You can buy pretty much any 'ordinary' hatchback for that money, so I looked for the cars which were best VFM and had the most spec, lowest miles, etc.
The Mazda came out top, as they are slightly cheaper than other Japanese cars as a 'like for like', and has a massive spec. I have also leased two Mazda6 Sports tourers in the recent past, so know them quite well.
As it is used by the wife on a daily basis, the 'must haves' were parking sensors F&R, sat nav, decent headlights, seat 5 comfortably and have a decent sound system.
I was amazed how many cars in the price bracket didn't have all those TBH; some didn't have any!
