I just noticed the other day just how close the HP and weight on an FR-S is to the R53 JCW. Wish I still had that car, so I could do a direct back-to-back test drive comparison. Drivetrains and engine types may vary, but apparently I have a type when it comes to car size/ power!
AutoBild magazine did compare Mini Coupe and BRZ, and Mini didn't have a chance.... BRZ was that much better in every category. And i think it was rather surprising how big the difference was in driving dynamics. Mini was good, BRZ was even better.

I'm going to test drive Mini Cooper today
