FR-S is significantly shorter yet has a longer wheelbase. Far lighter. Better fuel economy. The 996 interior is shit. 997 is nice, though. Porsche seats are uncomfortable, at least for me. To my knowledge, no movie stars have died in an FR-S.

Really, though, it's about cost of running and maintaining a Porsche versus the joy you get for that money. The FR-S, like the Abarth, like a Fiesta ST, is a screaming bargain.
I'm already an Audi driver, probably been called that a few times


Lighter is good, but the car is also down 155-180hp comparatively. Fuel economy doesn't matter as I'd be driving it on weekends. 997 interior is much nicer than BRZ interior, even mine with $4k in interior work. Totally OK with the fact that movie stars have died in them; I find it strangely romantic.
