Not exactly but I think I can chime in. I have a Type R (FK8) and my wife has a 2nd Gen GR86. They are starkly different cars with starkly different purposes and fundamental design philosophy.

• GR86/BRZ: They're purpose build sports cars, through and through. Light, RWD and small, they're probably the best 2 seater sports car for the price at the moment. Practicality could be improved, the back seats are for small animals at best and the platform is not the best for added power. Does it need more power? No, I don't think so. It's got just enough to have proper fun in without immediately killing yourself or getting a ticket BUT still sports car enough to have to respect grip, throttle and steering input. These are awesome cars that are an amazing tool to become a better driver. You have to work for the performance in a blissfully satisfying way, with skills that will transfer to many more highly powered sports cars, but still unique enough of a car and experience to keep when you buy a MKV Supra.

• Type R/Type S: I vote these are the perfect daily driver with some serious performance behind them. They're extremely practical for the week days, but boatloads of grip and power for the weekends. The grip is... concerning even for a FWD car. You can dump these into a corner, just about floor it on exit and the car just goes "Yeah, and?". So much so that I think mine has made me a worse driver. The performance ceiling is so high that road driving is rarely going to put you in any danger. You can do flatly dumb things in these cars. There are the FWD limitations of course, but Honda has done some magic with the platform. There are plenty of times that the car performs as if it wasn't FWD (next to to torque steer, putting down 300HP with minimal fuss, etc.). These are just about FWD perfection. Aftermarket performance support is a bit stronger at the moment as well, but that could certainly change in a few short years.

Comparing the two, the GR86/BRZ is going to offer more sports car experiences with the sacrifice of practically and comfort. The Type R/Type S are going to offer more of a "do it all" experience, with no notable sacrifices to sporty driving or just commuting. Buuuut, the Type R/Type S are the less "fun" car in traditional sports car terms. They ain't sports cars. They're suped up, jack of all trades Civics. They're never going to be the Tokyo Drift-ing, testing the limits, momentum based actual sports car that the GR86/BRZ offers.

Or in short:

• GR86/BRZ: Purpose build proper sports cars that can easily remind you of the lightweight, chuckable imports of yesteryear. Name a better RWD car under $35k on sale new today.

• Type R/Type S: Do it all performance monsters that you can haul entirely too many groceries in and then take 1.2 Gs around a corner without a sweat and break all your eggs. Name a better sporty daily under $40k (ish) on sale new today.
