I wouldn't say Harris is bias, and I certainly wouldn't undermine his journalistic integrity by suggesting his review was paid for, but as I said, I do feel like this particular review set out to champion the FR-S at the expense of the Z. Like he said, he's had loads of people say "but you can buy a *insert faster used car* for the same price" - an argument which has probably wound him up so much that he specifically made this feature to counter that argument.

No biggie though - still a great review, and I hope for more comparison reviews like this in future.
Well put
