I had an S2000 before my FR-S. The S2000 is a more track/performance car for sure. But, it's small, not practical, has no rear seat, has close to zero trunk room, and is hot and noisy. I loved it as a third car.

My FR-S is now 7 years old. (owned the s2000 for 2 years) The FR-S has ALL the things that I wanted out of the s2000. (except exhaust note)

Anyway, I know you are looking at a turbo twin. I have never driven one and my car is stock drive train. I have upgraded most pieces of my suspension though.

My ap1 had no TCS or VSC. My wife crashed it. Those features are enough for her to be able to drive the FR-S safely.

Anyway, they are pretty different when it comes down to it, IMO. I feel the S2000 is WAY harder to drive close to it's limit. I feel the FR-S is easy to drive near it's limit.

Long story short, the FR-S is more relaxing to drive, has more room, and if absolutely needed, has a rear seat.
