Couple things:

The TSX has one of the smoothest manual transmissions I have ever used, engagement was really smooth....but the throw was a little long.

As far as the Mazda 6 goes, my only complaint were the seats on the sport package (doesn't anyone make a decent side bolster anymore ). Other than that decent engine and handling (although I wish it was a bit more taught).....and if I was really nit picking a bit more torque (even though you can spin the wheels easily from a stop)
