- Maybe it's b/c I grew up driving old VW bugs, I adore the lack of cushy suspension in the FRS. I endlessly enjoy the immediacy with the road. But, I do find that many passengers in my FRS tire of it. That's why there's a passenger door.

Ha. Couldn't agree more. I grew up with bugs, too. In fact, learned to drive in snow in one. Bugs were okay in snow because of the engine weight over the drive wheels. But it's weird how the FR-S sorta reminds me of my bug. Totally different thing, of course, but I guess it's just being able to feel the road through the steering wheel.
