Too early to tell... I've only put about 100 miles on the Mazda. (I only had it a few days before I left town and am still away) It feels very similar, but it's a bigger car. Definitely faster 
I judge it in terms of the competition, and in that respect, it's very similar to the Mystique (in it's day)... if you want V6 and a 5-speed, loaded, with real performance (not just looks), I believe the Mazda 6 is a clear value leader in the market. Time will tell. It may be months before I get to really open it up and report back
