Stop start 'district nurse' style driving will kill any engine. Constant starts and never getting up to temperature are bad news.
The best car for this sort of driving, assuming you are doing it in a city is a small cheap city car with a small engine. The small engine gets up to temperature quickly, its easy to park outside a client's house, a cheap car is hopefully cheap to fix and the horrible fuel consumption you get from running a car cold all the time is less with a small car.
Without knowing your budget or other needs its hard to say more. Are you getting a new car on a 3 year deal, or are you buying 2nd hand and planning to keep for a while?
I do a similar sort of driving, but I chose the smallest cheapest car I could find a 1.1 Fiat Panda which is excellent for the job ( I fix it and service it myself, not that much has gone wrong). However it is far from sporty.
If you are happy with a city car by and by they are all much of a muchness, especially if on a PCP and getting rid after 3 years. Get whichever one from a mainstream brand you like the look of (Some have sporty versions or cosmetic special editions) and can fit whatever equipment you need in, so cars like to VW Up (or Skoda/Seat versions), Citreon C1 (or Peugeot/Toyota versions), Panda or similar.
If you need a bigger car, or want something different you need to decide what compromise you are going to make.
Edit: Re-reading your post I see you say nothing new. I'd still go for a small car though even 2nd hand if suitable for your use simply for ease of use and cheapness or repairs.
