Small/ medium automatic for wheelchair user

I am disabled and have to use a wheelchair. I need an automatic with enough space to carry a folding wheelchair and still be able to use the rear seats.

I will have to buy used (4-6 years old) but want something reliable, preferably petrol. For many years now I have had only Ford or Honda and am a bit wary of anything else, please can you advise. Many thanks.
