Looking for a small Confortable Car

Looking for a car to replace our Astra Convertible AND Peugeot Partner! In other words looking for a car that is comfortable to drive, easy to deal with in town centers, BUT can be used to get rid of garden rubbish etc. So far we have been thinking along the lines of compact MPVs. Any recommendations? We might be thinking to much "within the box", so any suggestions would be helpful.
