5-seater after my s2000?

GTI seems like a clear choice if it's enough space for you.
Maybe G37? Although that doesn't seem much like an S2000 with 5 seats.
I also agree an E90 328/330i would be nice. A sweet package (N/A I-6, RWD, manual, not too big/heavy, hydro steering, 50/50 weight dist. and good handling) that's quite affordable now.
As for reliability, I have an E90 M3 and my ex-g/f had an E92 328i and they were/have been pretty solid overall. Tires are not cheap if you have the Sport Pkg 18"s, and I believe the brakes aren't either (they're quite large even on the 328i Sport), but not a huge deal.

Sorry OP for not responding.
Honestly you won't find an s2000 with 5 seats. I'd recommend keeping the S if at all possible. I plan on keeping my S forever, and daily a Sienna now.
The wife has a Tucson and we're thinking of adding a 328. Quite a mix of cars..

A Jaguar XFR or XE S are both great sporty 5 passenger cars.

You need the Sport package to get the sport seats.

Jag XE is a great car! Friend of mine has one and I was blown away by how well it drove, even though it didn't have a MT. Probably more than the OP is wanting to spend, though...

On another note; Maserati Ghibli is a solid handling car. The throttle programming on the down shifts are really cool and it makes the paddles more fun than on my Jag. Ghibli's depreciate like crazy, so getting one for an affordable price is easily done.

XE really is an awesome handling car with amazing pick up!

I don't think the X-drive models come with the Sport package. The car is slightly taller due to the AWD system so I don't think they can fit the sport package suspension on it. I haven't seen an X-drive model with the Sport package, so if it does exist, it's quite rare.
