Can you suggest a smaller, more manageable replacement for my friend's Peugeot 3008?

I have been asked to suggest a suitable car to replace a recently-widowed friend's Peugeot 3008, which was purchased new in October 2010. The car is now too big for her needs and she has great difficulty in putting it in her garage due to the width of the road outside her house and a longstanding back problem. She prefers the high driving position of the Peugeot and the high seating, which makes it easy for her to access the vehicle. Can you suggest any smaller cars she should look at? I should mention that the lady is 75 years old but very active.
