If you can manage with only 4 seats* and a boot which, while fine for a small car, isn't exactly huge, I'd suggest the Suzuki Ignis.
It is a very small car, only 3.7m long, but really is a tardis when it comes to interior space. We had one for three years prior to our current car. One time I had my cousin and her 6'2" son in the back and her (massively obese) 6' daughter beside me in the front. Probably wouldn't want to do a long distance, but on a 40 mile round trip it was absolutely fine. On top of that, they are very efficient and very reliable.
But if the Ignis is just a bit too small (though I'd urge you to go and see one in the flesh so to speak before writing it off), what you want to concentrate on are tall cars. With a lower car, in order for tall rear passengers to be comfortable, there needs to be length. With a tall car, the rear passengers legs don't need to stretch out so far forward. So you get the same room in a shorter package. I'd also look for cars with sliding rear seats (which, as a 4 seater, includes the Ignis), that way you can maximise boot space if needed.
I think this includes the VW T-Cross (also pretty short), so if the Ignis is too small, I'd look at one of those. Others off the top of my head would be the Skoda Kamiq (closely related to the T-Cross but a little bigger), the Vauxhall Crossland and the Citroen C3 Aircross (which is closely related to the Crossland)
*The entry level model is a five seater with a fixed three person rear bench, the mid and top spec have two rear seats which slide individually (about 20-25cm if memory serves)
