Family car for small family with older DC (no car seat requirement)

[MiaowMiaow99]

Really struggling to find the car for us. Really like the look, feel and drive of the SUVs like Sportage, Tuscon, T Rock etc but practically we just dont need something so big.
We tried the Hyundai Kona yesterday which is a mini SUV but it was so boring, there was nothing exciting about it.
Any suggestions?
Our car usage is a v short commute, the odd tip run and a couple of trips to the airport with 4 suitcases.
It seems madness to get a car the size of a Sportage for that!

Additional info: we already have a city car as 2 commutes. So the new car is going to be the 'out and about car'.

Bump!

I looked at a Peugeot 2005 which was quite nice and a similar look. Had a Golf GTi years ago which was fun to drive, but not sure what the current ones are like.

I have a similar dilemma. I have a Peugeot 2008 and absolutely love it but fancied a change. I have test driven t-cross but wasn't a comfortable ride so that's out.

I looked at Suzuki which was ok but not as funky as mine. So I think I will replace mine with new Peugeot although I prefer my older version.
