Sports car with a manual

Hey ya'll....

I'm looking for a sports car that meets the following criteria. What would you recommend? Thanks! I'm a single man in my 40s. It'd be a second car mostly just for having fun driving around town.

- $50-100k ish
- New or CPO with warranty

- 2 door coupe, no convertibles

- manual transmission

- fairly quick (0-60 in less than 5 sec)

- not going to be a maintenance/reliabilty nightmare

- broad appeal to car people and non-car people alike

- easily fit a driver that is 6'2"

- not interested in a corvette, mustang, camaro

From what I've seen some options might be... Toyota Supra, BMW M240i/M2, Porsche Cayman, Lotus Emira. Not sure if any of these would be good for me but they seem promising. Not sure what else is out there that I haven't found yet. Not a huge car expert.
