Buying a new, economic to run and small automatic MPV - what would you recommend?

I am looking to buy an economic to run, small MPV type vehicle with automatic transmission. It needs to be able to accommodate 5 adults plus 3 suitcases. I would also value boot space for moving larger loads with the rear seats folded down.

What would you recommend please?

Decent combination of ride and handling that might suit some people better than a harder sprung Golf or a Civic. A few inches taller than a Golf of Focus so easier to get in and out.
