Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Soul than the MINI Hardtop.
Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the MINI Hardtop, the Kia Soul may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Kia Soul as you will with the MINI Hardtop, 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). Based on MSRP, the Kia Soul is clearly a better financial choice over the MINI Hardtop.
Dimensions
Since the Kia Soul is much wider than the MINI Hardtop, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
If you go with the Kia Soul, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the MINI Hardtop.
Handling
The Kia Soul has a smaller turning radius than the MINI Hardtop, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Kia Soul is significantly less powerful than the MINI Hardtop. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.
Powertrain
The Kia Soul has much less torque than the MINI Hardtop, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
Utility
The Kia Soul offers greater seating capacity than the MINI Hardtop, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around.
