I've had numerous ppl sit the back and not complain. Granted im only 5'7 so theres always plenty of space behind my seat and the seats have that dip so your sorta far back its fitting your feet that can be the issue. But i will say that when the car was brand new it did feel bumpy for the first 200-400 miles and then i guess once the car broke in a little it ride became alot smoother

My gf wants one for herself, she loves the ride and the handling. She actually wants to sell her A5 for one.

That being said nobody would ever ride in the backseat of either car.

How? At comfortable ride position there is about 1/2" of space between my seat and the back. I don't even put my dogs back there without putting the seat down lol.

I had a girlfriend once that didn't like drifting or going fast

like i said im short or i should say i have short legs so i have to sit closer to the steering wheel lol..i had my brother and his girlfriend in the back a few times and the only complaint is not with fitting their legs but rather their feet under the seat...honestly i bought this car for me, dont care about the ppl in the back seat because its usually me driving or my girlfriend driving. so if your married or single with no kids its perfect his or/and hers car lol

I just wouldn't even bother letting anyone ride in the back. Either that or put the seat down and let them lay in the trunk lol.

There is no gap when I am in the drivers seat so can realistically only have 2 small passengers.

My fiance gave me "crap" for getting the FR-S, but only because she drives a WRX and we had agreed that my next car would have to be faster than hers

She's just happy that I don't want to drive her WRX anymore since I found a car that I like driving more than the WRX

russv · 08-20-2012, 11:47 AM

Every girl has "one". Every guy can't have a GT 86

My girlfriend is encouraging me, WIN!! She wants a Mini 6spd for herself. She keeps being like "hurry up and get the BRZ so you can take me for a ride in one"

Trojan_SC · 08-20-2012, 02:35 PM

My girlfriend LOVES my car, only reason she won't get one for herself is that he doesn't want the same car as me, so she's eyeing a Miata.

Can't go wrong there if the lack of storage space isn't an issue. I just drove my friend's miata last week. First time I had ever driven one. It put an unexpected smile on my face. Made me almost question my FR-S purchase. Almost.

There was an article on C&D where the FR-S(with better tires) was faster around the track than a WRX and Mazdaspeed3. So technically your car is faster where it counts lol.
