MINI is a BMW sub-brand so it doesn't meet the OP's 3rd and 6th requirements.
As the owner of a MINI, I can attest to the dismal quality and reliability. I just had it towed last Friday due to an electrical issue. But hey, it was cheap, 6-speed manual and AWD. Plus, it gets a ton of compliments and looks good.

I had an Abarth 500, LOVED that silly little car, but I think the long term reliability is questionable. That said my 500 was way better than my Alfa Guilia Ti lol go figure.
