It's a coupe so the doors are huge they'd be smaller if it were a 4 door sedan. I would like lighter doors though but it's not a big deal to me.

They're big and an important part of the stiffening of the overall structure. You think they're heavy now, just wait until they do the convertible version.

Heavy? Take out the crash beams--that'll lighten 'em up some...

My sister drives a SLK230 and that car has some heavy doors, probably heavier than the FR-S doors. Ironically, they're so heavy that she shattered her driver side window once just shutting it. Guess what was the first thing I pointed out to her when I showed her the car?

Infiniti G35 doors are HEAVY! Much heavier than the FRS'.
But yeah, safety stuff, window stuff, speaker stuff etc. is what makes it so hefty. If you are going racecar, you could definitely get rid of door guts to cut weight, but if you're not, I think it's fine how it is.
