Chris Harris is arguably the best automotive journalist out there right now. Yes the FR-S has a better driving position than the Z, if you doubt that go sit in one. The wheel is better placed and their seats hug MUCH tighter than ours.
While the overall review seemed harsh on the Z, the points he made were totally valid and have been made over and over across all the auto media companies, such as the course engine note/feeling above 5k rpms. But again, a lot of his gripes can be easily fixed with simple mods... as an all around car the Z is a much better value. Check out my threads reviewing the FR-S vs. the Z.
He's really not bias at all. If actually listen to what he has to say it's good content.
And to those of you who say he doesn't know how to push our car... you are foolish. Check out his other videos. He drifts $100k+ cars on tiny back roads all day. He can push our car no problem, it just does get a little squirmy around the limit (in stock form) and loses some composure, thus the 8/10ths.
