It depends on what you want out of a weekend toy. All vehicles (and complicated machines in general) are a sum of compromises. So the answer to your question will result from what you are willing to compromise on.

If you go FI on the FRS, you change the cost, efficiency, and maintenance vs. performance compromises Subaru/Toyota engineers made. This may also waterfall into unintended effects such as increased cooling needs.

On the other hand, a different vehicle will likely completely change the compromises made for it. My aunt's boxter has difficulty fitting groceries sometimes using both the fronk and trunk. Never had a problem fitting anything short of furniture in the frs.
