Buying a used small car with lots of headroom - what do you recommend?

I need to get used small car with an automatic ‘box up to three years old. Already have Audi Q5 for long trips, so will use the small car for small runs (5-80 miles) totalling about 7000 miles year.

I’m a tall driver and need plenty of headroom. What makes/ models can you suggest to narrow my search?
