Thing is, I really don't do much of either haha, but probably slightly more road than track, given i haven't done a track day since I sold my m3 back in 2012.
Mini was certainly something I considered, but not really exciting enough.
I think an m3 or Cayman is what I ultimately want, but can't justify the extortionate insurance, so I'll take a look again in 2017 and see how the land lies.
A gt86 is probably exactly what I need, just wish they had a slightly more exciting engine, not more powerful, just more exciting.

Do you want a GT car with low-ish running costs that can be tracked OR a track focused car that won't beat you into submission on longer journeys.
Ultimately, the real question is which are you going to do more? Drive it on the road or drive it on the track? I think for all of us, bar @BRM, the answer is always road, hence why my MX5 is genuinely a retarded car to own, so get a GT car that can do you the miles and the open road enjoyment, while still not frustrating you on track.
Ignoring all that, an R56 Mini with choice upgrades would be a good option.
