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 430 than the Ford Mustang. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the BMW 430 and the Ford Mustang in the front seats.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW 430 as you will with the Ford Mustang, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

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). The BMW 430 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Ford Mustang, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW 430 is much slimmer than the Ford Mustang, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the BMW 430 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Ford Mustang.

Handling
The BMW 430 has about the same turning radius as the Ford Mustang, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The BMW 430 has less horsepower than the Ford Mustang, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

Powertrain
With its lower torque, the BMW 430 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Ford Mustang.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW 430 and the Ford Mustang.
