This. My brother owns an SR20DET S13 and my car before the FRS was a KA S13. I drove the SR S13 today and then right afterwards drove my FRS. The FRS never really put a smile on my face besides it being new and very sporty looking. I actually felt more confident in the FRS after driving the SR S13. I was driving my brother's S13 and pulled out of a left turn full throttle and the car hit boost and spun the tires to drift effortlessly. Put a huge smile on my face. Then again, I take it easy on the FRS since I'm still breaking it in. I love both 240's and the twins. They both have their good points, but believe it or not, I think the 240 is a better daily (for myself). It just had a more direct and comforting feel. Maybe it's cause I drove a 240 before and am still getting used to the FRS.
People keep throwing around what to replace your 86 with. Why does it have to be another rwd, lightweight coupe? Buy whatever makes you happy and satisfies what you need the car to do. I honestly wanted a TSX wagon if I didn't get the FRS, but hey, the FRS was something to fill the void for my 240 lol. Plus I'm still young (mid-20's). I would've been happy either way though.
