Before the FR-S. I had an MR-S, And i drove that thing for three years. canyon runs to azusa to ortega canyon. I still didnt know that car. I was always surprise if it acted in a way that i didnt want to.

So after driving hard the MR-S fully moded trd kit. I decided to get the car that I waited since 2008 announcing that there has been testing in the nurburgring.

Long story short. When I drive the FR-S for four months I feel like one with the car. I feel like i am the car. I have accomplished this in 4 months than i have with the mr-s in 3 years. i feel good when i drive the fr-s like if im walking really fast. Like i am myself in it.

This was my car before the fr-s...

Not surprising mr platform is a different beast.

Your're right. I loved it cause it left cars in curves like blowing a feather out of your hand, but i hated it in rainy days feeling scared that my tail would snap out..

I honestly felt the opposite.
My sw20 and then highly modified sc aw11 felt far more sure on the road at speed.
I love how natural this car feels to drive, and when int kicks out, it's so easy to catch it and reign it in or milk it out, but after 120kph, it feels too light and loose on the road, especially the front which is weird because this is my first fr car.
But I'll get used to it. I've only got 7000kms on it.

I don't think this is weird at all-- if i were to imagine one of these cars being more intuitive and visceral, it'd be the FR-S. I think its as stated above, MR is just considerably different.

I miss my 88' MR-2. When I was a young man it inspired me to exercise rather than be a couch potato.. because it lacked power steering lol.
