Have you thought about the BMW 330i? They're reliable, sporty, and Car and Driver got 42 mpg at 75 mph in the rear-wheel drive one.
330i is good too, I have a 2023 model but it’s more of a sporty chassis and on the stiffer side with the M adaptive suspension.
Test drove the BMW 330i and liked the drive.
the b48 in the newer 330i is actually pretty solid, that friend of yours is probably working off 2008-era bmw stereotypes
330i is extremely reliable. Preferably use a non dealer for maintenance. Excellent fuel economy too. And a great driving experience.

I do need a backseat otherwise the Cayman would be ideal.
Get the Cayman. If you get a good one with ppi you will be driving a special car.
They cayman is a special vehicle, they’re comfortable to daily unless you’re going into like a hardcore one, and have a surprising amount of storage space with a trunk and frunk. I’d go there, because they also don’t depreciate like the VW, and it’s just going to be a better version of the GR86
Cayman would treat you right. Just make sure to get a ppi and check for bore score
A Cayman or Boxster, or an M2 would be my choices.
