Comfort
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Kia Soul and the Nissan Z in the front seats.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Kia Soul 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). Based on MSRP, the Kia Soul is clearly a better financial choice over the Nissan Z.
Dimensions
Since the Kia Soul is much slimmer than the Nissan Z, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot.
The Kia Soul is slightly shorter than the Nissan Z, which may make it easier to park.
Handling
The Kia Soul has about the same turning radius as the Nissan Z, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Kia Soul is significantly less powerful than the Nissan Z. 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 Nissan Z, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
Utility
People who frequently chauffeur around a lot of people will appreciate the Kia Soul more than the Nissan Z, due to its significantly greater seating capacity.
