Changing two cars for one that does it all(almost)

Hi,
It's that time again and I'd like to ask for your opinions, experiences and advice. I'm considering changing cars fairly soon and i'm finding the smorgasboard (yes!) of choices somewhat daunting, so I thought i'd ask for your thoughts about this to see if you could help clear my currently spec-cluttered head. Last time I asked for such advice,which was a couple of years ago on this forum, I followed some sagely advice and bought the MX5, which has been a great car and the most fun i've ever had in a car.
I currently have a Freelander 2 and an MX5 2.0 Sport and i'd like to replace them both with something like:
- Golf GTi (performance pack)
- Skoda VRs
- BMW 330d
- Audi A/S4
- BMW X3/X5
- Audi Q3
- something else with a some go in it, without it being 'a track day car' or too harsh over uneven roads.
It needs to have enough life in it to enjoy on B roads when the need arises and also nice and comfy for general bimbling about in. It needs to have four doors and four seats and to be a car I can grow into and appreciate as my driving improves. Petrol is preferable as I mainly do short journeys, though not essential. Balance, poise, style, 'go', comfort.....oh yes, quiet inside too as that's important to me. I never really used the Freelander's 4x4 capabilities off road but I do enjoy the driving position, as it gives great views over most traffic.
So if you have the time and inclination to jot down some ideas or suggestions here, please do.
Thanks.
