Comparison Review

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the BMW X3, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Dodge Hornet.

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 BMW X3 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Dodge Hornet, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X3 is much slimmer than the Dodge Hornet, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the BMW X3, which is slightly longer than the Dodge Hornet.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the BMW X3 is clearly the choice over the Dodge Hornet for pulling heavy loads. The BMW X3 has a little less horsepower than the Dodge Hornet.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the BMW X3 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Dodge Hornet.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X3 and the Dodge Hornet.
