When friends of mine ask me what the best all-around car is for someone looking for fun and practicality, I almost always tell them to get a Volkswagen GTI. The perennial hot-hatch favorite is quick, comfortable, well-built, and has a useful amount of space to load up a set of tires for the track or pack it full of gear for a weekend of camping.
