If you want a car just for fun, don't buy the FR-S. Miata, Elise, S2000, really almost anything with 2 seats is better...
The FR-S is a great do-it-all car on a budget. I used mine to move, give the roommates rides to the store, go skiing, etc. It has quite a bit more space than a watercooled 911, nearly on par with a 3 series coupe.
The engine will always sound terrible and the interior sucks, no matter what power adders you put on. An S2000 or Miata is just more pleasant to drive, and while I somehow haven't managed to drive an Elise yet, that car is on a completely different level of fast.
