Maxima or Grand Prix?

My dad owns a 98 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, I personally like the car. Its got some decent kick to it. Before I got my New Mustang, I was always borrowing his car on real hot days, or real rainy days, when he was down here (lives in PA).

I'd say I've put about 8 thousand miles on it myself. They drive and Handle nicely, look pretty good especially in RED.

Accerlerates quick, but I dont really like the interior, to much open space for me, and the consule looks kinda funky, but hey thats just my opinion.

Oh one thing about them, MAJOR Torque steer. Can be Extreme at times. If your driving at about 20-30 MPH and FLoor it so it kicks into first, the car about turns 90 degrees and goes flying off the road. Well not quite that bad, but of all the front wheel drive cars I've driven, it has the worst Torque steer.

I personally would go with Pontiac.
