Opinions/suggestions on purchasing a FWD nissan

Well I’m trying to sell my 180SX (check out the for sale section) And I’m going to replace it with a newer, possibly less exiting 4 door.
I want something practical but still fun. AC, Standard, good condition and engaging drive, under $6000 are my requirements. Doesn’t have to be 4 door.

So that being said I have my eyes on a few ideas but wanted suggestions from my fellow nissan lovers.
What do you guys think of:
2001 maxima SE, anniversary edition.
2002 sentra SER spec V

I really want to get my hands on something AWD but they aren’t quite in my price range unless i’m getting an old non turbo subaru.

This is not a WTB thread (however if you have a suggestion please PM me) This is because I know nothing about the reliability, millage, practicality and fun factor of either of these cars. I also don’t know what things to keep an eye out for when inspecting (common problems and such). So I turn to you Nissan Nuts to help guide me!

Thanks for your opinions

i liked the 01 maxima SE anniversary that i had as a winter car… i would definitely do it as a daily driver.
