Small car with flat load space

I currently drive an Astra 1.6SXi, covering approx 10,000 miles pa, mostly motorway. The only problem is that the rear seats do not fold flat (I need a fairly large flat platform, but not too big a car). I rarely need the rear seats, but don't want a van. Any recommendations?
