It's a completely fair criticism to me, the FA20 isn't a smooth reving engine.
You most certainly can drive around it, but compared to the revised motor in the MX5 It falls on it's face as you push through the mid range RPM band.

Each car is a ton of fun in their own right, the BRZ/86 is far more practical. Once you drop the rear seats you can fit all sorts of stuff back there. As a sole DD it would be the better choice even though the motor isn't as good.

This may be worth checking out. He owns a FRS with some power mods to smooth out the engine.
