Cit run

I'm looking to replace my Saxo Furio and think that this may be the
last car I will be able to afford, so it must be reliable, cheap to maintain and insure, with inexpensive spare parts. I would like a four-door car that is equal but better than the Saxo (and think that is no problem) although mine has lasted me 8 years with not much trouble. I do not mind diesel or petrol. I drive quite long distances but most of
my driving is around town. So I would like a car that is comfortable to drive on motorways and has a good turning circle. I would like a reasonable size boot but it must have split seats because I frequently pick people up from Heathrow with suitcases and sometimes I need to get my bike in there too. I have looked at a Citroen C3 but find I cannot see the dash if I have the steering wheel and seat at the most comfortable position for me. I have also tried an Aygo but am not sure what it would be like on long journeys and the boot is tiny. I am confused after reading too many reports. Help please.
