I've never had the pleasure of driving a Cayman or an Elise/Exige, but I can tell you that the steering feel of the FR-S is still very good. Especially for an electric setup. In fact, it's so good that in my very first AutoX last Sunday, as a first timer in a RWD car with all aids disabled, I was able to feel any loss of traction and was able to correct every single time. I didn't spin out even once in 10 runs, in fact I improved over 3 seconds in a 60sec course. I have no complaints about the steering feel.
