C63 Estate - estate will win her over and the low down toque means it is very easy to drive slowly. Also has a great sense of occasion and fun driven hard down back roads.

Wouldn't bother with an SUV as they are all st when it comes to fun as MUCH to big and hardly like to be hustled.

Weirdly my wife quite likes my z4 M coupe though she didn't like to drive my e46 M3 which was very similar control wise. Sure there are exceptions but generally they like smaller cars with lots of seat adjustment and controls that aren’t too heavy. As long as the front has a deactivation for the air bag and isofix seats you can get the little one in the front and still have it as your fun car.

C63 is a good shout, not sure a estate is needed for 1 child, and I suspect most women would prefer a saloon or coupe than an estate.

E90 M3
Porsche Macan better for the mrs than the Cayenne
Cayman
Boxster
911
Jaguar XKR
Lotus Evora (not sure how child friendly they are though)
BMW 1M


EDIT: Just seen your latest post, you can take a few off my list in which case.

Must admit the DB9 is lovely.

Searchng through the PG classified it jumps out of the page amongst the C63s, M3s, 1Ms and 997s.
