4 Adults in comfort?

Thanks but that is what we have with our current Cmax. I really wanted two better adult size seats in the back for long journeys without having a big car with a large boot.

A Seat Arona could be worth a look.

People report problems with our current 2013 Cmax powershift box but if it is serviced properly it keeps going.  Ours is over 100k miles and still smooth and reliable, skimping the gear box oil change may save about £200 every 40k but a new box costs a lot more.

If your current car is still running fine why change it just because it's reached a specific mileage? If it does everything you need then I can't see any reason to pay out for a new car.

Used Citroen Berlingo for Sale | AA Cars (theaa.com)

The Berlingo is a huge roomy car (I'm 6ft and can fit behind the driver with the drivers seat fully back), but the rear seats don't adjust and the boot lid is huge so you need more space to open it than you'd expect (why it's not a van style door I have no idea). It's also not huge, barely bigger than the C-Max.

I bought a used VW T Cross about 18 months ago (21 reg). I find the front seats very comfortable - I’m about 5’8” with long legs and when test driving some cars I found the seats weren’t deep enough to support my thighs. When I’ve given lifts to friends I’ve had no complaints about the back seats, but, so I could give some useful information, I’ve just been and sat in the back, and there was a gap of 4cm between my knees and the back of the  driver’s seat. Of course, the compromise is that there isn’t a lot of boot space. 
It’s an automatic - my first one, but I found it easy to get used to and now it’s effortless to drive. Economy is not great but I do a lot of town driving - and I opted to have a spare wheel, which doesn’t help.

What a bout a Skoda Superb, the Estate will also offer you great luggage capacity (and I think looks better).  I doubt you will find any car with more rear legroom.  2.0TDi will get you over 50mpg

We were picked up from Prague airport some years ago in a Superb saloon and was staggered by the amount of space in the back. I’m just over 6ft and sat there with my legs outstretched, just like a limo!

It's no good, the boot is too big.

It has to be small outside yet big inside
Wide opening doors.
4 proper seats for adults (no 60/40 split)
Auto and economical. 
Have a higher ride height than a Fiesta.

I can't help thinking what Dr Who is doing with his Tardis these days!

What about a Honda Jazz?
Small, economical, can get a auto, clever seats in the rear.
No better ride height than a Fiesta though.

The boot is big but it's smaller than the Skoda Superb though at least in terms of length - because it's square the volume is huge.

You can't get wider opening doors than sliding ones too. It's also got the higher ride height.

Any of the 'executive' saloon/estates will have decent leg room but will be in a long car. VW Passat, Skoda Superb, Mondeo, Audi A5, BMW 5, and so on.

Full size SUV will give you move leg room (via height rather than depth) but they'll all have a big boot too.

Sounds like u need a tardis like what they have in Dr Who.
Shame, you don't see a lot of police boxes for sale these days. 😁😁
