Family automatic with plenty of luggage space - what would you recommend?

My daughter is expecting a second baby and needs a used automatic with plenty of space for her commute to school. Her average mileage is 8000 and a petrol engine would be preferable. What do you recommend?

A 2010 Nissan Cube CVT would be fun. They're rare, but cheap (only one shipload was imported). A Honda Jazz CVT makes sense. Maybe a Renault Modus or Grand Modus 1.6 auto. Newer, a KIA Venga 1.6 auto or a Hyundai ix20 1.6 auto.

Neatly styled. Increased room and better performance than original Jazz. better to drive. Very versatile. CVT-7 returned in February 2011 replacing i-SHIFT. More reliable than first generation Jazz.
Decent to drive with quiet yet torquey 1.6 chain cam engine, sensible gearing, light controls and excellent ride quality.
