I loved my '91, but the '94 was a disappointment, nowhere near as engaging or fun to drive.
Minor differences in wheelbase and front/rear track width stagger aren't the major players here, IMO. The 101" wheelbase 86 behaves more like the 97" wheelbase S13 than the 99" wheelbase S14.

I know you liked your s13 more than the s14, but, meh, I don't agree. I think the KA is pretty boring in all versions. Needs an SR, IMO. The S13 understeers much more than the S14. The S14 is very neutral, and the steering feel on it can easily be improved with aftermarket parts. In fact, I'm pretty sure an S13 steering rack can fit in the S14 just fine. The only difference is you use a bushing from the S13 because there is a minor difference in thickness.
Also, the wheelbase and track differences aren't really that minor, honestly. The FR-S feels more stable and planted, like the S14, and a lot of that has to do with the dimensions.
