Yeah I also took a look at the BRZ - well actually I went to both dealerships back to back and sat in the BRZ & FR-S 10 Series.
The added stuff in the interior are nice: auto AC, push start button & nav sat included, but I do feel it lacks quality-wise. Is it cheaper plastic? Not sure, can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's just a feeling and it'll go away once I hit vtak .. Oh wait lol

Not only did it feel higher quality, but it was also more durable/scratch-proof than my FR-S interior. And with the hatch design of the RSX, there was more cargo space for hauling larger items.

That said, once you move past the interior, the FR-S is much better than the RSX-S. Handling, balance, feedback, and steering are all much better. And the seating position is perfect in the FR-S, unlike the RSX where you kind of sit on top of the car. The power is about the same as an RSX-S, and shift feel is comparable (which is an accomplishment for Toyota/Subaru IMO).

All in all, the RSX-S was a great car for the sporty hatch segment, but if you put an emphasis on how a car drives, the FR-S easily wins out IMO.
Gotta agree with you on that one - although it's nice that the shift throw in the stock BRZ is much shorter than the rsx-s
