Small car with high seats

We have a Suzuki Wagon R+ which we have been very happy with. We particularly like the fact that the seats are higher than normal (good for us older generation for ease of getting in and out and comfort ;) ).

We are thinking of replacing it and are looking for recommendations of something of similar size and running costs, reliability and the higher seats are important.

Any suggestions?

    Don't know how big a suzuki Wagon R is, but I have a Daewoo Matiz (yes you can laugh!) I love it and I feel high up in it, compared to friends cars: mondeo, golf and mazda 323's!

    Mitsubishi Colt, one of the best, if not the best car in the sector for room and seat access especially in 3 door form.

    No, not really. Just looking at what else is available. As we will be buying a late used model rather than new it will probably be a case of what is available from a list of suitable makes.

    That's just the same as a Suzuki Wagon R+. Same engines, same everything pretty much.

    Toyota Yaris Verso (probably now just called Toyota Verso) might have higher seats than the average car.
