I have owned my 2000 Honda Civic SI for 11 years, and I still do today. It has some suspension modifications (shocks/springs, sway bars, end links, bushings etc.), supportive Recaro Speed seats, and a 98 spec JDM Integra Type R engine swap. It is a fun car, and a little brother to your Honda Prelude, so it is much similar to what you have experienced from a 90s-00s era Honda.

I have owned my 2016 BRZ for a little over a year now. It is mainly stock with no modifications. One thing I can say is my BRZ is leagues better in terms of being a drivers car when comparing it to my Civic.

The BRZ driving dynamics are better. It corners better, the steering feel is better, and acceleration/power is on par with my Civic's engine swap. Overall, the driving feel is something my Civic cannot match. And, that is saying a lot because my BRZ has no modifications.

In the end, everyone has a different opinion on the BRZ, FR-S, 86. The biggest thing that will help you make a decision is to check out the car in person and test drive it.
