Can you recommend a car to replace my Citroen C3?

We are about to change my wife's 2014 diesel Citroen C3 Picasso. It is used primarily for short to medium journeys with occasional longer trips. We've been delighted with the Citroen, it suits our needs in all respects but we wish to switch to a petrol engine. My wife is short and I'm 6ft tall. We're looking for a fairly recent secondhand hand model. Open to all suggestions.

Small MPVs like the Citroen C3 Picasso are now pretty rare as buyers (and therefore car manufacturers) have moved towards crossover SUVs. That's why the C3 Picasso has now been replaced by the C3 Aircross, which could be a good choice for you. Also look at the Skoda Kamiq or new Ford Puma. If you'd prefer a conventional hatchback, a Honda Jazz could be a good choice. The new model is a hybrid, which might suit your needs well. There are some good deals available on late examples of the old model, too.
