Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the MINI SE Hardtop than the Nissan GT-R. The Nissan GT-R will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the MINI SE Hardtop.

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 MINI SE Hardtop is clearly a better financial choice over the Nissan GT-R.

Dimensions
Since the MINI SE Hardtop is much slimmer than the Nissan GT-R, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the MINI SE Hardtop, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Nissan GT-R.

Handling
The MINI SE Hardtop has a smaller turning radius than the Nissan GT-R, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the MINI SE Hardtop 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 MINI SE Hardtop 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 MINI SE Hardtop and the Nissan GT-R.
