Buying/Selling

Hey everyone, Happy Holidays!
I am about to buy my first car (new driver) and I am looking for some advice.

It will mainly be used for (in the same order):
1st motorway transport
2nd driving around town
3rd Weekend trips

The roads in the country i’m moving in will be fairly rough (cracked pavements etc.)

For now, I have focused on the following characteristics:
Transmission: Manual transmission
Manufacturers: Toyota, Volkswagen, Honda, Mazda
Year of production: around 2010
Budget: 4-5k euro (including repairs)

I am wondering about the following questions

1. Which characteristics are most important in my situation? (economy, power, handling, safety, etc …)

2. What is your opinion about the models below?

3. Can you recommend something better?

Thanks and happy holidays!

Viewed Models:
Toyota Corolla
Honda Accord
Mazda 6
Toyota Rav4
Honda Civic
Toyota Camry
VW Passat

is it even worth looking at things like this for my price range :
Mazda MX-5
