blind spots
I drove it last Friday at the First 86 event. Headroom is great and I'm 6' 3" with a long torso so most people won't have an issue. I don't fit in either a miata or S2000 but found no problems here. The front seat can be adjusted down so if you did find the windshield too low in front, you have plenty of room to drop the seat. I did not notice any issue with seeing out the front. I stopped at some signals and didn't have to stoop to see the light, although all of them were across the intersection rather than hanging over the middle of intersection.
I was careful to check visibility out the rear quarters. I considered a CRZ but it has absolutely huge blind spots there (along with front wheel drive). The FR-S is great in that both rear quarter windows were fully visible and functional. Yeah, yeah, that is what mirrors are for but sometimes a quick check over the shoulder is still a good thing.
Also, the driver door is long enough such that the driver doesn't end up looking straight at the door pillar when looking left. That is a nice change for me as frequently when I'm in a sedan, the door lines up such that when I look left, I have to lean forward to look around the pillar.
Just my two cents.
