What's a suitable replacement for our Alfa MiTo?

I'm currently driving a 2015 Alfa Romeo Mito QV TCT which I've had a for a few years. I'm finding the car quite uncomfortable (doors are very long and heavy, and the car is low down). Ideally, I'd like a 5 door automatic, potentially a crossover, that is comfortable but still nice to drive. Our driveway in London is very short (the Mito fits with only a bit of room to play with). What would you recommend? We've considered the Jeep Avenger Hybrid/Fiat 600 Hybrid or the DS3 Crossback. Anything else we should check out?

The options you've mentioned are all solid ones (and, as it happens, all share a lot of the same components), but there are similar cars we rate more highly. One of these is the Toyota Yaris Cross, which is only slightly longer than the Mito, and is similar in size to the Avenger/600/DS3. There's also the Ford Puma and Skoda Kamiq to consider - they're a little larger but still quite compact.
