Also, don't want anything tiny as I want to be able to load wheels & tires, etc when needed. So, sadly, things like the Fiesta ST are out.

Don't want anything with high miles or unreliable. AWD preferred, but FWD is ok. No RWD.

I have a 30th AE Miata and Hellcat for fun. Although, the Hellcat is for sale as I drive the Miata a lot more so I'll be replacing that with something else fast, fun & RWD at some point.
Get a Focus ST. I think you will be happy. Now I've never owned one, but I had a friend who passed away who did and he absolutely loved that car.

I have no idea what maintenance is like on them either.
