By "best" I mean, good feel, handling, etc.

A few basic parameters:

1) Manual transmission
2) Not too old. Let's keep it at 10 years max MY2007+
3) Minimum of E46 level of rear passenger leg room/space
4) RWD>AWD>>FWD
5) Can tolerate reasonably high upkeep costs but no Maseratis or similar.
6) Min performance of 0-60 in ~6 seconds.

Bonus points for
- LSD
- NA motor
- being "special" i.e. ///M, AMG, low production, etc.
- sounding awesome
- being a wagon
- the more low end torque, the better.

Haven't thought about it much, but that's what I got so far. I think you get the picture
