If you were tempted by the Porsche Cayman, the Jaguar F-Type is a stunning machine. But yes too sporty for a daily basis.
Lexus is top. Excellent. But personally I don't like the feeling of their gearbox (the CVT).
Mazdas are really nice. A CX-3 or CX-5 if you need something bigger are one of the best options price/quality/design...
Volvo was mentioned already.
