This is just for comparison between the only two cars in this size category using unknown trim levels from the 2011 models. Mazda is the only one with cars this "tiny." I used Edmunds if it makes any difference. And the pictures for them are already in this thread so it's just a direct comparison based on specs.
Since all three share similar engine weights, you could extrapolate that the approximate size for the FT-86 is still within 2700-2900lb range. Both Mazdas use a "back bone" around the transmission tunnel for rigidity. But the FT-86 is quite a bit removed from the Subaru platform so I couldn't use those for an example. Still nothing for sure though, just guessing
