Got a chance to drive an FR-S today. Better handing dynamics than an S2000. Easy to drive at limit like an NA or NB Miata. Rotates at will with only throttle inputs when all nannies are disabled. Surprisingly loud exhaust at full throttle but quite civil in cruise mode. Great damping, roll and pitch control. Great feeling brakes. Motor is what you would expect; Flat powerband, excellent throttle response, power about halfway between an NC and S2000. It's all about the chassis though. The composure and grip of the car on the zillion treadwear Ecopia tires is well, astonishing. On slightly larger, and sticky tires, it's gonna be like a big Miata. Grip for days and probably a lot faster on track the the numbers might suggest.
