Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi A5 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the MINI Convertible with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. The MINI Convertible will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Audi A5.

Convenience
The Audi A5 will require fewer stops at the gas station than the MINI Convertible, making it more convenient to drive.

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 Audi A5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the MINI Convertible, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Audi A5 is much wider than the MINI Convertible, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Audi A5, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the MINI Convertible.

Handling
The Audi A5 has a larger turning radius than the MINI Convertible, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi A5 has a much more powerful engine than the MINI Convertible. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Audi A5 transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the MINI Convertible.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Audi A5 and the MINI Convertible.
