I've driven all three.
I love the inside of the GTI. It is well-appointed. The car is a lot of fun to drive, while being the slowest of the bunch.
The MS3 is the most powerful, by a little. It is ugly inside and out (in my opinion). It's torquey, it handles pretty well. Overall, not a bad car. But it is gas thirsty.
The Focus ST blends a bit of both and exceeds them (in my opinion). Its handling is amazing. It gets the mileage of the GTI and the performance of the MS3. Its interior is prettier than the Mazda, maybe not as nice as the VW. But it's too tight for a large guy like me. It was uncomfortable to sit in. Smaller folks don't have that limitation.
