Comparison Review

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi A3 as you will with the Maserati Ghibli, 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 Audi A3 is clearly a better financial choice over the Maserati Ghibli.

Dimensions
Since the Audi A3 is much slimmer than the Maserati Ghibli, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Audi A3, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Maserati Ghibli.

Handling
The Audi A3 has a smaller turning radius than the Maserati Ghibli, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi A3 is significantly less powerful than the Maserati Ghibli. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Powertrain
The Audi A3 has much less torque than the Maserati Ghibli, 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 Audi A3 and the Maserati Ghibli.
