The FR-S is most easily compared against its near-twin from Subaru, the BRZ.
While the two are mechanically nearly identical, the Subaru version offers a slightly nicer interior, and comes with a few more luxury items.
There are plenty of other rear-drive sports cars around the same size.
The Ford Mustang offers three engine choices, an independent rear suspension for the first time, and classic styling.
Chevrolet's Camaro has three engines as well, and it handles better than ever.
The Nissan 370Z is big on power but lacks the same perfect balance found in the Toyota 86.
The Mazda MX-5 Miata is even less powerful than the FR-S, but it's lighter and handles nearly as well.
Plus, it offers glorious drop-top driving enjoyment.
