Try a skoda rapid / seat toledo 1.2 Tsi petrol
When we collected our Leon in 2013 there a was a Toledo sat next to the salesman desk. My first thoughts were "why have I just paid more for a Leon". The Toledo's boot was absoluetely massive, probably Mondeo size in a sensibly sized package. But when I looked further I could see problems. Forgetting the cheap materials (its a cheap car) the passenger space in the rear was challenged to say the least. Not much legroom and very little shoulder room, you could not fit 3 adults, probably not even 3 teenagers. Then I found out why, it was based on the old Polo/Ibiza so its basically a small hatch with a huge boot welded to the back.
It may suit some buyers, local taxi companies use them but they probably are not too bothered about the comfort of rear seat passengers providing they can fit a huge amount of shopping in at the Asda taxi rank. But if you carry people you like in the back check carefully.
