If you already have a larger family car to haul the kids around (Escape), I would say RX8, no doubt.
Handles like dream, looks great inside and out, plenty of room for the kids in the back if you need to take them (they'll stay small for at least another 5 years), and out of that list, it's the cheapest.
You can't go wrong my friend.
Save the $10k for that certain air-cooled something.
