Which small SUV is best?

My wife wants to change her Honda Jazz for something with an elevated seating position and a bit more power to cope with the Dorset hills. We cover 12,000 miles a year and would like something of a similar size so it fits in the garage, but it must also be fun to drive. Which model would you recommend?
