What car with a high roof could I replace my old Agila with?
The time is approaching for me to replace my old model Agila. The high roof level has been great because it enables me to adjust the seat to cope with my dodgy back. I am looking for something similar and have come across the Citroen Berlingo, the Renault equivalent and the Fiat Qubo. Having sliding rear doors would be a benefit for older passengers. Do you have any views on the above or other suggested models to investigate?

Better the current model Suzuki Splash or Vauxhall Agila. That has good upright seats, quick folding rear seats and is even quite stylish.

Really roomy, with clever, quick, flat folding rear seats that leave a low load floor. Cruise control with speed limiter. 6-speed box.
Surprisingly spacious small five-door city car. Makes best sense with 1.0 petrol engine. Much better than old Agila. Rebadged version of Suzuki Splash.
Comfortable ride and reasonably nimble handling, good load space in both wheelbase versions, opening roof flap adds to versatility.
