5th gen Maxima

djpathfinder

Wikipedia is not the most accurate source of info. The 3.0L engine in the 4th gwn pdoduced 190 HP. The 5th gen introduced in 2000 and stayed for two model years had a 3.0 that produced 222HP. In 2002, they did a mid-cycle refresh with a 3.5L 255HP engine, along with introducing HID headlights and steering wheel controls for the stereo. My brother had a 2000, I still own a 2002. My facts are accurate.

djpath is right. I still have my old 2001 3.0L with 222 HP. Edit: Actually, wikipedia is right too - it just doesn't say what was reported above.

The 3.5L in the 2002+ is nice, and the HIDs are a great addition as well. The downside, aside from the gas mileage, is that a lot of the 3.5s burned oil. The 3.0s were rock solid, but lower power. Pretty solid car overall, but I'm sure there are more reliable cars out there from that time period.
