Suggestions for a good summer car

I have driven IS300 (is250 etc.) and they lack character and have no performance feel to them in stock trim. Lexus does a lot of things very well (quiet car, comfort, audio), but miss the boat on sports cars.

s2k could be good, they are pretty raw and fun to drive. Are they as reliable as the rest of the Honda lineup?

I’m into that with a massive turbo and zinging it around limerock.
