I recently rented a car and had the options of a GMC Acadia, a Hyundai Santa Fe, or an Infinti G 37. Of course I picked the G 37. Funny thing is that when the lady said GMC, I said next before even letting her tell me what the model was, and then she said Hyundai, she could even get the word Hyundai completely out of her mouth before I said next. I have owned several GMC products, and have driven several Hyundai's, and would not allow myself to drive in either vehicle for a week that had such poor driving dynamics and such numb steering. And to be honest, the G37's sports tuned suspension was only slightly more taut than my 2012 Mazda 3, so yeah, Mazda does tuned their suspensions to be on the taut side of things. i will have to say though, the Koni FSD's that I just recently installed on my 5 are a good compromise of both. Softer and comfortable over the open road, but firm up considerably when driven hard around turns.
