Comfort
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Nissan Z and the Toyota Prius in the front seats.
Convenience
The Toyota Prius requires fewer visits to the gas station than the Nissan Z, 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 Nissan Z will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Toyota Prius, which has a much lower MSRP.
Dimensions
Since the Nissan Z is much wider than the Toyota Prius, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
If you go with the Nissan Z, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Toyota Prius.
Handling
The Nissan Z has a smaller turning radius than the Toyota Prius, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Nissan Z has a much more powerful engine than the Toyota Prius. 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 Z does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Toyota Prius.
Utility
Those who have to chauffeur around a lot of people should beware, the Nissan Z seats a lot fewer people than the Toyota Prius.
