Why is this a fatal flaw. I would have thought that driving with one arm is more like to induce fatality as opposed to having both hands on the steering wheel.

More like an improvement over most cars. I was extremely glad the FR-S didn't have an armrest - does nothing but get in the way and add cost unnecessarily. Armrest serves no purpose in a sportscar...

More of a gentle jab at the Twin owners who didn't like the lack of centre armrest....

Although if they padded the top of that e-brake handle, it could pull double-duty...

The round lights and gaping circular front kill it for me.

I like the basic interior, the small size and the weight and I don't mind 1.5 engine,I was hoping for a hatch 3 doors or a sharp little coupe, not a fan of the cartoonish look.

This has shot up as my #2 pick. Depending on the cost of insurance, it may be number 1 behind the twins.

How about the New S-FR Sports Car?

Go to SFRforums.com and check it out. Autoweek also has some
info. on it. Smaller, lighter, and cheaper than the FR-S.
