Compliments for the lady who roughed it with her MX5! 🙂
Cayman sounds like a good solution for you! It’s got the everyday, the long-haul, the bad weather, the B-road and the track day covered. A save bet really.
Avoid tiptronic (neuters the car) and big 19″ wheels (wooden on B-roads, 18″ better, 17″ best but look feeble).
Nice to have: sportchrono pack – it comes with a silly clock on the dash but more importantly gives you an ESP sport option with more leeway (standard, sport, off).
Compared to the MR2 and MX5 it will feel more solid, has more grip and might feel less engaging at legal speeds as a result. Upside: it’s actually fast on a track and not just fun.
Enjoy the test ride I’d say! 🙂

Then again, you can always drive a grown-up car when you are older! 😈
At least go for a test-ride with an Elise/Exige/VX220, too! 😛
All the best!
