What small car is good for someone with a bad back?

My wife has a bad back which seems affected by her car, an Audi A1. What small car of a similar size would be better for her? Our budget is £15000.

Audis do seem to have firmer seats than other brands. A Citroen C3 won't be as premium as the A1 but it majors on comfort. Alternatively, the new Ford Fiesta is a really good little car with comfortable seats.
