There are multiple dimensions in which they differ. Cost, reliability, emissions, safety, convenience, driving enjoyment, etc. To compare them and say one is better overall than the other requires you to define the weight that you place on each of those factors.
Many of those weights are subjective. Some people value convenience a lot. Some people don't. Some people passionately love driving a stick shift, and some people hate driving. Some people believe climate change is the most important issue of our time, and some people don't care if the planet is trashed as long as it doesn't happen within their own lifetimes.
Since the weights are subjective, it is a logical impossibility for one of them to be objectively inferior or superior.
