The car is also quite a bit bigger so it doesn't have that exciting go-kart feel to it. Also, I know this sounds funny because I'm comparing to a 1ZZ but the engine sounds...pretty bad lol. Shifter is direct linkage to transmission but it doesn't feel that great either.

Thanks, that is some great insight that is hard to get from magazine reviews and the like. In absolute terms the FR-S is pretty small and light, but coming from an MR-S I can see how it would feel quite large and heavy. I am a fan of small, lightweight cars myself. That direct response, the feeling of connectedness… It feels like the car is part of our own body.
