But overall the FR-S was a more fun car to drive. The shifting felt better, better steering, nice seats.

I test drove the 3.8 R-Spec not the 2.0T. The Genesis looks great on raw specs, it has the horsepower, FULL back seats for human beings!! Its got the features but I had no where near as much fun test driving it as the FR-S. The gauge cluster in the center looks like cheap plastic. The seats bothered me after the test drive too, the weren't comfortable.

Keep in mind i only have a test drive of experience on the Gen coupe and 6+ months of ownership of the FR-S.

I got a good deal on on a FR-S 10 series. All the comforts of the BRZ and the looks of the 86 and in a color I like.

That's pretty much how I felt about the 2.0t. It was ok driving, the interior was superb, but just not quite there for me.

the FR-S on the other hand really made me excited when I test drove it. Plus the FR-S' exterior looks better in my opinion.
