Sure I can trail brake to get the rear rotate better in FWD, but it just doesn't feel the same as a RWD car swinging around.
Way I see it, the FR-S was never intended to "beat" other cars, but to just be fun. It's why they put Prius tires on it.
Honda's 6-speed in the Si is known to great (aside from that annoyingly weak syncro), I'm doubtful it'd have a better shifter.

Japanese Prius tires, no one mentions this.
