RSX-Type S is light.

buy a used Cayman S, a used Civic LX 4DR, and you're set.

s8 with the happy v10....

but more wallet freindly

legacy gt
sti/wrx
evo x
rsx type s
cobalt ss
2011 comaro, cause the first year has way to many issues
mustang gt or higher models


really if you want light and sporty, plus wife/family friendly, you are looking at two very different cars, so get two different cars.

for 30k you could find a nice s2k ( or like car) and some nice family 4-door, like a honda toyota lexus acura ford or if you like repairs audi

Mini Cooper S or John Cooper Works?

Civic Si or Mini Clubman S

I personally prefer the M3, but it's hard to call anything over 3000 lbs. light.

i think i'll be looking at m3 or 135 to carry 4
or used caymen s for the wife and I.

I gotta get out and test drive as one said.

All good suggestions, thanks.

My thoughts exactly.............

We went 944 / S2000 / NSX but your need for back seats hammers that

I suppose a Mini Cooper S would be my choice for a reasonably light, practical & fun DD.
