I just wanted to comment on the engine noise remark: I drove the FR-S with a TRD exhaust and rode in a BRZ Limited the next day. The difference was huge! Whereas the stock BRZ sounded boring and a little rough, the FR-S with the cat-back sounded very nice and sports-car-like. I'm sure with a good cat-back and removal of the sound tube into the cabin, the car will sound much more pleasing. And you liked the 370Z sound better? That thing has all the melodious sound of a school bus! Anything over 4500rpm and you can't hear a damn thing in the cabin! It's like they sacrificed all refinement and NVH control in the name of outright horsepower.
