Searching for a small car

I currently drive an Audi A1 1.4i Sport. It has just three doors and I want to change it for a five door variant. I am in my 70s and do about 6000 miles per year, what would you recommend?

The obvious jump is to a 5-door Audi A1 Sportback: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/audi/a1-sportback-20.../ Next class up: an A3 Sportback or a 5-door Golf VII or a SEAT Leon.
