Performance
With that kind of horsepower, the Titan is a legitimate sports car.

Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the Mazda B2300 is definitely more agile than the Titan, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the other hand, note that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Titan's engine is tremendously larger than the Mazda B2300's. Remember that bigger engines may use more gas than smaller ones. The Titan packs quite a punch compared to the Mazda B2300 regarding torque, which is roughly equivalent to acceleration. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Nissan Titan is tremendously more powerful than the Mazda B2300.

Utility
The Titan will most definitely prove more practical than the Mazda for those of you with frequent kid-cargo. The Nissan Titan is likely a better choice than the Mazda B2300 regarding transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of gear or large pets. Towing is substantially more the Nissan Titan's forte than it is the B2300's.

Convenience
You'll quite certainly take the B2300 for a fill-up almost as often as the Nissan Titan.

Comfort
Taller drivers will substantially enjoy the extra head room in the Nissan Titan's front cabin compared to the Mazda.

Dimensions
The Nissan Titan is tremendously heavier than the Mazda B2300. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Nissan Titan than the Mazda B2300 because of its larger tank. The Mazda B2300 fits in smaller parking spaces than the Nissan Titan. The Mazda B2300's shorter wheelbase will likely give a sprier feel in daily traffic. However, the Nissan Titan is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Mazda B2300 to the dealership as the Titan. The Mazda B2300 will save you money at the pump compared to the Nissan. Producing an exact fuel economy evaluation is so hard that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the Mazda is the winner in terms of fuel economy. With respect to MSRP, the Nissan costs tremendously more than the Mazda B2300. The Nissan will cost you a bundle in gas every year compared to the Mazda B2300.

Warranty
The Nissan Titan and the Mazda have the same basic after-sale protection.
