Can you recommend a replacement for our Volkswagen Polo with a larger boot?

Would you please be able to advise me on what car to get? I currently have a 2007 Volkswagen Polo 5-door, and am very pleased with it and indeed this is the third Polo that I have owned and I would like to stick with Volkswagen if at all possible. I have a young daughter who is nearly two, but am expecting another child at the end of the year and know that this car is sadly inadequate for our needs. Please can you recommend a similar car, if possible, but with a bigger boot for a double pushchair? We can stretch to £15,000 if we can trade in our current car.

The obvious one is a SEAT Ibiza SW, which is basically a Polo estate car and, like the Polo, built in Northern Spain. See road test and video here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/seat/seat-ibiza-st.../
