No I didn't say that 
. It is fast though. It did not feel as connected to the road as my Mini. but is was not to bad. Motor Trend did a comparison of the Mazda and a 06 Subie WRX, here are some coments:
Through the slalom, the WRX posted a speed of 63.4 mph, well behind the Mazda's 68.6, a pace that betters that of the BMW 330i, Infiniti G35, and Jaguar XK. Around our figure-eight course, a telling test of handling and braking, the WRX clocked a time of 27.1 sec at 0.64 g average, again no match for the 3's 26.6-second at 0.69g average. Circumnavigating the skidpad, the Mazda held on for 0.86 g of lateral grip--better than that of a Lexus IS 350--
Interesting, but it's still a family looking wagon
