Nice review! My final two choices ended up being a 987 Cayman S and an FR-S, and I drove the two for 4 hours on a variety of roads before making my decision. I agree with your review, almost word for word. "Sonorous" is the exact word I'd use to describe the sound of the 3.2L flat 6. I could listen to that soundtrack all day. Steering feel in the Porsche was less artificial (the FR-S, while good, can feel electrically-assisted sometimes), but steering response on the FR-S is very quick and direct. And yep, there are times I've wished the FR-S had an actual cable-throttle.
I ended up picking the FR-S because it felt like better value and would be cheaper to track/autocross in the long run, but I'm sure I would have been happy either way.
