Right there you've ruled out a Genesis Coupe. They really are two separate types of car. The Genesis is competitive with the 370Z, Mustang, and Camaro. It's a big, heavy, powerful, grand tourer. The 86 is competitive with the Miata and S2000. It's a small, light, not especially powerful, sports car. It's a momentum car, not a muscle car. Either one can be made to beat the other at what it does best, but pick the direction that's closest to what you want before you start.
That said, an 86 meets all of your criteria, and it's a blast to drive. Nav and heated seats have been on there since day one, and the newer ones (2015, I think?) come with backup camera.
