The owner stated that a lot of the Scion dealerships are marking them up by easy $2000 by putting "sport" suspension, making them "taller" when I saw his FR-S. This explains why the first FR-S I saw seemed smaller but this "pure stock" one is taller. I'm also on stock base suspension btw. When you put suspension on the Z, it looks still big. But when you put suspension on the FR-S to drop barely 1 inch, it looks smaller and low (but not really that much to the 370z). However, the Z is a big "wide-porker."

Interior space is worst than the Z for a taller person, but roomier overall. Trunk space makes the Z put to complete shame.

Anyways, specs.
