Id love some recommendations on a daily driver so I won't be stuck or pressured when working on the X and cant get it done on a weekend . Heres some preferences:
4dr sportish sedan.
auto
less than 15k
decent gas mileage.
i've been looking at lexus is250/300 and g35 sedan. These were 2008-2010 models ive seen in my range. Can i get some suggestions?
Imo, the BMW 3 series sets the sedan market standard. Its well engineered and the suspension handles great. Get the lowest mileage one you can afford and enjoy. I personally like the E46, but all are great.
IS350 for comfort and low maintenance. Decent power too for what it is. IS250's get about the same gas mileage and is a lot slower. G35's don't hold their value as well as an IS350. 3 series will have higher maintenance but have better driving feel.

You could also get into a new Kia Forte or Hyundai Elantra for about that.
This^. 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport. 6 Speed 200hp/200tq Turbo 1.6. New multilink rear suspension. Leatherette heated seats. Can be had for around $18.5k with all the rebates Hyundai is offering.
TSX all day! They are great cars, fun, reliable, good stock hp, good on gas, and you get to keep that sport luxury feel without breaking the bank plus plenty of aftermarket support in case you want to get more out of it.
