Maxima 5th generation (specs)

Hey guys!
I'm new here and I have question for you all.
I live in Czech Republic (Europe) and I really like your Maximas in your country. (USA) In my country aren't these Maximas so can you tell me somebody any specs about Maxima 5th gen?
I think: 0-60,top speed, all engines, equipment, price +- and something more? Is it good a popular car in USA?
I have Nissan Primera P10 (infiniti G20) with 1.6 (GA16DE) under the hood. It's really small engine with 90hp because gas is in my country is very expensive... 5.14 $ per gallon..

Thank you and sorry for my english.

I live in Canada.

- Gen 5 is not as popular in comparison to a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry. I usually only see this gen with older folk or hand me down from parent to child.

- Gen 6 (2004+) are popular with people that like to "bling" their cars but are too poor to afford a true baller car. :0

- The 2002-2003 (gen 5.5) have the VQ35DE engine and possibility of a 6 speed transmission but it's FWD so it's hardly a sporty car. The 2000-2001 have the VQ30 which is more reliable but still FWD

- Common issues for the gen 5.5... Oil consumption, rear valve cover issue, maf & the AT motor mounts frying the ECU

Is something like a Infiniti G35 (2007+) with the VQ35HR motor too expensive to import? It can be bought with either AWD or RWD and definitely a step above any Maxima, it would probably be worth importing.

thx

Thanks for answer. 5th generation has about 220hp? It must be pretty fast right? I saw a few videos on YT and looks very good.
But for my country it's car with big engine and high fuel consumption. That's why I hate my country typical cars here are: VW Golf,Passat with diesel engine....

Yes import to my country is very expensive..

The turning radius isn't that bad... These cars hold their own for the age of them, mines just about 15.
