Apologies for asking a question you answered (for someone else) a few years ago, but I can't remember it all. We have a 5-year-old Vauxhall Meriva. There is almost no visibility looking to the right oblique, and we have had many near misses on roundabouts. For this reason we need to change it. You named 3 makes which were better in this respect, but I can only remember the Citroen Picasso. We have looked at the Citroen C3, which is better than the Meriva, but I would be grateful if you would tell me the other makes which you thought had good vision. We prefer to buy diesel, and have a budget of up to £15,000.

The best vision is from the driver's seat of the KIA Venga or Hyundai ix20. Toyota Yaris are very good too.
