well i think looking at your list the type of car your looking at your spoilt for choice in the sense theres a lot to go at in the largish suv market. i had a citroen c4 grand picasso auto and it was superb kept it for 4 yrs. ive been looking at small suvs as i too need a higher seat due to lower back issues. ive been looking at the seat arona recently and whilst there i was quite impressed by the seat ateca a lot of kit for not a large ap. as i said the citroen diesel auto impressed me and if the replacement for the c4 grand piccasso whatever it is is as good then its worth a look.
