Comparison Review

Comfort
Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Nissan Z, the Nissan GT-R 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 Nissan GT-R as you will with the Nissan Z, 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 Nissan GT-R will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Nissan Z, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Nissan GT-R is much wider than the Nissan Z, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Nissan GT-R, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Nissan Z.

Handling
The Nissan GT-R has a larger turning radius than the Nissan Z, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Nissan GT-R has a much more powerful engine than the Nissan Z. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Nissan GT-R does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Nissan Z.

Utility
The Nissan GT-R offers greater seating capacity than the Nissan Z, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around.
