Personally, based on the criteria of a reliable and fun daily driver I'd go with the XJR. It is not only incredibly fast, but it is so effortless. Supercharged power everywhere, it makes great noises, very good steering and brakes, good handling but with a comfortable ride. The interior is absolutely stunning, easily the highest quality car I have owned. Of everything I have had, the XJR would be my #1 choice for a road trip. It's also the only car I've had that was purchased with every feature still working, I had to do very few repairs to mine. This era of Jaguar (during Ford ownership) was actually very reliable. In my car shopping I always look for another good deal on one, I can't say that about some of the cars I have owned. For a car to keep, I'd love to buy one, modify it, then surprise the hell out of people.
By the way, I hope you like the mods done to that MR2 because it's about $4k too high. Great cars, but at $10k you'll never get your money back.
