Previously drove a 2008 VW R32.
Plush as shit in comparison. Auto everything - wipers lights, heated seats, lumbar support, etc etc. Just more refined in general. You typically expect and get that in a German car.
If you're expecting that in a sub 30,000$ japanese sports car, you're going to be disappointed.
With that being said, I found the interior of the FR-S very simplistic and to my liking. I will admit I miss the RCD-510 headunit I had upgraded to in my R32. That was the best radio ever. Aside from that, not feeling like I downgraded much.
I also agree that VW has fallen victim to being very boring now in their attempts to be the world's biggest automaker.
