Help me find a new car

I currently have a Ford Fusion which i really like but it's getting to the point where I expect it's going to start costing money for repairs soon. I'm also going to have some extra money each month starting Sept/Oct so am thinking of maybe getting something on pcp or similar.

Features I like with current car are:
I'm sat high up
Easy/comfy to drive for a short person
Decent boot space

Extra features I want if possible:
Sat nav built in
Parking cameras
Phone connectivity

I quite like the Dacia Sandero Stepway but dealership isn't very convenient (and bf has one) so I'm looking for other options. Any suggestions?

If you are considering that, then you should also look at the Seat Ateca, Skoda Yeti and Toyota C-HR.

The new version of the Fusion is the B-Max. Awful name, sounds like a nightclub I used to go to in 2002. Slightly indignant-looking from the front but very practical. Clever sliding rear doors.

Also, try Suzuki. They have a few you might like, depending on how big a car you need and how much you want to spend. The Ignis is a funny looking thing but it's got character. It's probably a touch smaller than the Sandero, though. If you need bigger, the Vitara is nice too.

Wildcard option: Vauxhall Adam Rocks. This will either be your thing or it won't. Three-door only. But it sits slightly higher up than a regular Adam, which is a city car based on the Fiat 500.

Thanks

Like that B-max, possibly in part because I've always driven Fords. Also think the Vitara is really nice - a friend has one and it's really comfy. Think I need to work out of I can afford the extra for them and see how much difference it makes to the insurance too.
