Seconded the Civic suggestion. I used to regularly carry a lab in the magic seat footwell of the Civic hatch magic seats. She curled up very happily there and the step up over the sill is lower than any boot sill. Boot space is excellent too. We once filled the boot for a four person holiday and then hired an Octavia estate at the other end and the effective boot space was the same. You can even get a fair sized soft bag under the magic seat base when its in use for a passenger.
As for money over time your £5.5k in 1989 is equivalent to £14k in 2020 (Bank of England online tool).
