What's a good replacement for a Citroen C3 Pluriel?

I know you enjoy a challenge so please can you suggest a replacement for our one owner almost from new and much loved 2004 Citroen C3 Pluriel. Something more-or-less like-for-like with the ability to open the roof while on the move, raised or slightly raised driving position, automatic, four seats and room for a smallish dog. We’ve discounted the Fiat 500 as too small. Price up to £15,000.

Thanks for the question. How about a Citroen C4 Cactus? It's a bit bigger than your Pluriel but equally quirky - with a raised seating position and room for a small dog. The opening panoramic sunroof was an optional extra but worth hunting out. If you'd prefer a convertible, a Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet might be worth a look... although the dog will have to squeeze into the rear seats.
