What large car for £9000

I am an old goat and my Saab 95 estate is worn out. I am finding the buying process of a replacement car most daunting and hope that you can perhaps point me towards something suitable.

5 doors or estate for me and my big silly Labrador, so fairly roomy. Petrol and as economical as possible. Under £200 tax and higher 30's + mpg. Comfy seats and I have around £9000.
