Advice about buying my first car? Help!?

I am looking to buy my first car soon but am opting for a used one. I am considering a Daihatsu Sirion or Holden Barina, which would be more suitable? Also, I have spotted a Barina around my area but it only has 2 doors and I am worried that it may get annoying. I mainly plan on using the car for myself - to drive to and from the train station, perhaps to the shopping centre and to run errands but occasionally I may need to give my siblings a lift somewhere.

So many things to consider!! I am looking to spend AU$5000 or under as this is my first car and I don't expect it to stay in 'good condition' once I start driving as I just got my license a few weeks ago.

Any other advice, tips would be appreciated.

TIA.
