I could just be less sensitive/picky than some people and I mostly drive on relatively smooth roads.

The only complaints I've had were the ugly silver trim, and the strange buzzing noise the engine makes at above 4k rpm. Oh, and the tiny tail pipes.. FRS wins there.
They are exactly the same with only some minor cosmetic differences! There is no better or worse quality between the two.
I am the same as you and don't have any of those complaints about my FRS. Ya it is noisier then a family sedan, ya it rides rougher then an expensive German car, ya there can be rattles and buzzes but like you I am not so picky and expect these things from an inexpensive sports coup. People want to get rid of every one of these things then they need to fork over the big bucks for the higher end cars. Of course then they would just find new things to complain about anyway.
