Came from an 07 FG2. You're probably gonna miss your Civic's torque.

Yeah, I can barely believe I said that but it's likely true. My FR-S felt less peppy as compared to my K20 Si with a header. Stock for stock though the FR-S does have a tad more mid range but the K20 made power in a more pleasant manner.

Still, you've got the K24 which probably pulls significantly harder than the K20 down lower.

I'd be skeptical about jumping ship to an FR-S. You're paying substantially more. Yeah it is RWD, but think long and hard about how much you want it as these cars are pretty comparable in performance otherwise.

My Si has a great car and I had a blast. I miss the engine noise of that K20, dear god it was glorious. The shitty clutch cylinders that made 2nd gear grind, I don't miss so much... If not for the shifting issues, I may have decided to just stick with it.

Test drive the FR-S. If you fall in love with it maybe consider biting the bullet. Make sure you wind it out though so you know exactly what kind of powerband you're getting yourself into. Personally the car frustrates me quite a bit. This engine's powerband just sucks. It has a lot of good attributes otherwise so if Mazda doesn't announce a coupe version of the upcoming Miata, and I'm pretty confident they won't, I'll probably just supercharge it one of these days.
