I need advice for a car. I've been driving a 99 Lexus ES300, great car for just driving around, pretty comfortable. Well, transmission finally gave out and I figured instead of dumping more money into it, I could just buy a different used car. I'm not looking for much, really I'm looking into cars that can get me where I need to go. I'd love for it to be a little more sporty, a little more fun to drive than the ES300.
I've been looking on Craigslist, a few 2005 - 2007 Maximas have caught my eye, there's a nice 2012 Altima on there that I think I could talk down if I wanted another cruiser. Any tips on what kind of car I should be looking for if I want something that's reliable, if not a LITTLE sporty? I'm talking sporty compared to the ES300, that thing's nice but it's not very fun to drive.

Fix the Lexus. Or buy a gs. Maximas are shit after 2003.

Why's that? I read that they have issues with the timing belt, but what else? Lower build quality?

Renault ruined them

How are Jettas 2005 and before? A few of these are pretty cheap, and I heard they're alright.

Passats with the 1.8 and manual are more fun but are more maintenance heavy too
