Can you recommend an automatic with high seats, comfortable suspension and lots of boot space?

I am eighty, and have a fourteen-year-old Toyota Corolla automatic that has given me no trouble at all, and continues to do so. I am thinking of changing, and require a car the same size as the Corolla, but with high seating (arthritic hip), soft, absorbent suspension (potholes), a proper automatic gearbox, chain cam petrol engine and, if possible, an electric sunroof. I would also like a good size boot, suitable for four people going on holiday (the old Corollas boot is marvellous). Lastly, I'd like comfortable long distance seats, fully adjustable.
