Buying a small economical easy to get in and out of car. What would you recommend?
I currently own a Mercedes A Class, and like that it has a reasonably high ride.

Looking to change to something similar but cheaper and more economical to run.

Could you make any suggestions for me to start looking?

Suzuki Swift, Vauxhall Agila or Hyundai i10.
