Which small car offers reliability and ease of access for a disabled passenger?

We need a reliable new car which should be five-door with a high seat for both driver and disabled front passenger. I have a 10-year-old Toyota Yaris that I have found really reliable so would like to stay with them but my only worry is that in the past I stayed with Fiat and the second Fiat was a complete headache.

My 88-year old mum also has a 10-year-old Yaris that has needed nothing more than a new battery. I think the new Yaris-based Verso S makes more sense than the new Yaris: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/toyota/toyota-vers.../

Or a Hyundai ix20 or KIA Venga (same car, different badge): www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/kia/kia-venga-road.../

Or the latest Honda Jazz: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/honda/jazz-2011-an.../
