Cons: Looks (if you asked an average American which car they'd rather have due to aesthetics only, I'm sure the Camaro would be chosen over the FRS 75-80% of the time), less interior room, less 'road presence', less people talking to you at the gas station (this could be a good thing), LESS HORSEPOWER, same tires as a Toyota prius, less manly in general.
My 2¢.

According to
FuelEconomy.org The FR-S in manual does get better gas mileage. 22/30 instead of 17/28.
As for looks they are subjective. Some people hate the look of the Camaro and love the look of the FRS, but that shouldn't matter since you buy what you like not what others like.
FR-s is lacking on HP/TQ but it is light so I'm sure that some mods will make up for it really quick.
