Small car, big boot.

Father in law wants a new car, he doesn't need a new car, but he wants one and can afford one. At least he can afford up to about £10,000. He's not too bothered about what it is, so long as he can get his golf clubs in the boot along with the electric trolley thingy, without folding any seats down.
His current car is a 2005 Fiesta which he's had from new and has only done 30,000 miles, so as you can see, he doesn't go far.
His main bugbear is that he can't get his golf kit in the Ford without folding the seats.
Logic isn't really the issue here in truth, as his golf club is less than a mile from his house, but he's sort of determined that a new car is the only solution. They only need one car, so the added complication is that mother in law doesn't want anything "too big" and that would seem to be including anything much bigger than the current car...
Yeah, I know, I know...
However, as the family member who "knows about cars" I've been charged with suggesting what he should be looking at.
First off, I'll say petrol with his usage and manual because neither of them have ever driven autos and they are both old. He's 81.
I'm initially thinking a Honda Jazz, a Nissan Note or a Fabia estate maybe. Another thought being the Skoda Rapid as it has a remarkably big boot for a small car.
Any other small cars with big boots you can think of where he could get a reasonably new one for his budget?

). As big a boot as you're going to get.
