comparison

Comparison or comparing is the act of evaluating two or more things by determining the relevant, comparable characteristics of each thing, and then determining which characteristics of each are similar to the other, which are different, and to what degree. Where characteristics are different, the differences may then be evaluated to determine which thing is best suited for a particular purpose. The description of similarities and differences found between the two things is also called a comparison. Comparison can take many distinct forms, varying by field:

To compare is to bring two or more things together (physically or in contemplation) and to examine them systematically, identifying similarities and differences among them. Comparison has a different meaning within each framework of study. Any exploration of the similarities or differences of two or more units is a comparison. In the most limited sense, it consists of comparing two units isolated from each other.
To compare things, they must have characteristics that are similar enough in relevant ways to merit comparison. If two things are too different to compare in a useful way, an attempt to compare them is colloquially referred to in English as "comparing apples and oranges." Comparison is widely used in society, in science and in the arts.

    Batteries : MG4 SE SR versus Trophy LR

    I intend to buy a Trophy LR because of the heated steering wheel, rear speakers, and faster DC charging speeds (although this may prove to be inconsequential in reality) however there is one thing that is niggling at me which I don't think will change my decision but I still would be interested...

    First Service

    Just had the first 12 month service done on my Phev. It was cheaper than I thought $417.30 NZD. They gave me a 2023 Mg ZSev as a loan car. Differences between the HS phev and the ZSEv I noticed were. My 2023 HS Phev has a lot more room inside and was more comfortable. The ZSev was touchy on the...
