I want to replace my Yaris with a car with a larger boot - what do you suggest?

I am a lady in my late sixties who plays a lot of golf. In 2005 I bought a new Toyota Yaris 1.3 and it is a very practical and reliable little car, perfect for short trips. However, to fit my clubs and golf trolley in the car, I have to put down one of the back seats which means that my clubs are always on view from outside. I would like to buy a smallish car with a bigger and wider boot. I don't like French cars and have up to £5000 to spend, plus my Yaris as a trade-in.

That has always been the problem with a small hatchback because they are built to accommodate four passengers rather than a lot of luggage. Exceptions include the Volkswagen Up, the Skoda Citigo and the SEAT Mii, all of which have a deep 251-litre boot. Alternatively, with the roof up, the Peugeot 207CC and Nissan Micra C+C have larger boots, but you won’t be able to power the roof down with the clubs in the boot.
