I have a 2003 Arc wagon - the V6, with the five spd auto. In sport mode, or when paddle-shifting in manual mode, this thing flies. In regular mode, it's dowdy. Handling is a touch soft, but comfortable.
I have driven the 04 Arc (with the 5 spd auto) and I agree with your read on it. Coarser, yes, but with lots of go. It felt lighter, and more tossable, than my wagon does.
Two things I would love to see: the V6 with a manual trans, and the Tid, also with a manual trans. Pie in the sky, I guess.
