Japanese cars are hard to beat. a lexus would be good for what you are looking for.

Right now no american car company, As for european, the bmw 3 series are supposed pretty good in terms reliabilty, perfomance and durability.

Jap cars are one of the top sellers in the world for a reason because you get a lot for your money
