Yes and yes.

FR-S test drive was with a salesman and the car had 3k miles on it already. My wife had to cram behind me in the back set (6ft+ salesman rode shotgun). I felt the car had a looser feel in the turns, and I wasn't at all impressed with the lack of basic tech features (HIDs, NAV) and the weird pattern on the dash and non-matching e-brake boot, also I hated the white gauges and red seat inserts. The test drive was your run of the mill around the block and back to the dealership.

BRZ test drive was just the wife and I. The BRZ feels stiffer when you corner, it was just easier to flick your wrist and slide to FR-S, even with the lame salesman in the car. I was happier with the added features of the BRZ once I saw them in person. Car had 2 tenths of a mile and 16 miles when we brought it back for purchase.
