GTI VR6 vs Probe GT vs Maxima

[Triple-X]

Hey everyone, which car would win? Right now I own the maxima, I was thinking about selling that car and buying a GTI. Is it worth it? Right now my Maxima accelerates from 0-60 in about 7.6 seconds. Would the GTI be able to beat that? How about the Probe and GTI? Thanks.

I don't think the 0-60 time should be the final arbiter in your decision unless, of course, all you're going to do is drag race it. But what you are comparing here is an apple to an orange and a pear. At least all are front wheel drive, but the Maxima has more of a luxury appeal, while the GTI has a more hairy chested personality. The Probe is slinkier. The GTI will be quicker all around, the Probe will probably score higher on the Babe-O-Meter. The Maxima you know about. Do you really like the automatic all that much.

Also consider, very carefully, the condition of these three cars. They have a few years on them and the Probe and GTI are likely to have been driven, um, enthusiastically.
