Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the BMW 230 than the Nissan GT-R. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the BMW 230, drivers may find the Nissan GT-R a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
The BMW 230 will require fewer stops at the gas station than the Nissan GT-R, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the BMW 230 is clearly a better financial choice over the Nissan GT-R.

Dimensions
Since the BMW 230 is much slimmer than the Nissan GT-R, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The BMW 230 is slightly shorter than the Nissan GT-R, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The BMW 230 has about the same turning radius as the Nissan GT-R, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW 230 is significantly less powerful than the Nissan GT-R. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Powertrain
The BMW 230 has much less torque than the Nissan GT-R, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW 230 and the Nissan GT-R.
