On my way back after having fun in the mountains, I got caught in about a 75 mile deluge. We're talking serious rain here.

At highway speeds, the FR-S had no issues handling the weather. I was impressed by how well it shed water off the windshield with or without the wipers. Still want to apply some RainX to it, but really there were no issues in this area.

Also, it held its grip on the road very well, I never felt at the limits while driving. In fact, I had to keep telling myself to slow down.

One other nicety is there seemed to be no tendency for the window to fog. This has been a problem in the Mustang and our former Lumina LTZ, even when you had the HVAC controls set "right".
