HJ liked the Toyota Auris 180 diesel: quick, economical and comfortable over speed bumps and so on. It's a high-spec Auris, a hot hatch for those past their first youth. I fancy one.
And re rtj's Volvo suggestion, there's a tasty auto one in the classifieds.

The Mazda 3 might be worth a look. There's a new one out early next year, though.

You want a small car with the highest profile tyres to provide a smooth ride. Cars which are comfortable are frequently easy to access and have good driving positions.
Although I love my Subaru Outback, in terms of ease of access, excellent ride and fantastic driving position, the best car I have found for that is the Subaru Forester. Get the non-turbo model and you get high profile tyres and car no bigger than a Focus.
There are also some of the Japanese small cars which have high bodies so easy to access, but the interiors are not so great.
Mercedes A Class with adjustable lumbar support would also be good.
