The BMW X3/5 will have the sportiest feeling driving experience I can think of. I can’t remember but I’m pretty sure there’s no V8 option in recent years but I wouldn’t sleep on the 6 cylinder either. It’s fast and it feels fast. Also likely the best suspension aside from the Porsche.
I drive a Mazda cx-50 and love it. The sportiest thing about it is the looks and steering. The 4 cylinder isn’t anything to write home about, though.
