I would like the FRS! That being said.
This was the Golf Gti gen 6. The gen 7 is lighter and a bit more powerful, 220 or 230, the 230 version is about 1000€ more expensive but comes with a e-lsd in the front. Do not confuse this with the old by brakes system. This system can send up to 100% of the pwer to the outer wheel in corner exit. This gives a lot less understeer. The torque is up from 280 to 350 Nm on both versions.
Also in Europe, or at least Sweden the pricing is very close on these GT86 and the GTI.
A lot of preach for the GTI from me it seems, but I would definetly chose the GT86 myself.
If not... We have one kid and probably within 1-2 years yet another. This would mean fitting 2 reversed child seats and the Gt86 does not have particulay good rear leg room. Of course this is not the point of the FRS but for people like me where the car has to be a daily drive and at least be able to carry 2 child seats the FRS might sadly be to small.
Therefore I do understand people who cross shop these cars. Only for me what would drive me away from this car is the need for a bit more practical car.
Only the GTI do not even have a manual hand brake, a must in a winter nation like sweden for those unnecessary, but safe, low speed turns of the car in safe places, for example turning the car 90 degrees before entering you drive way.
(My self is hoping for that it takes a year extra to have the second child so that maybe it can fit one forward facing and one rearward facing childseat.)
