Caliber is a pile of crap, avoid avoid avoid!!!
Mini S is a nice little car, handles well and has a surprisingly smooth ride.
Mazda 3, nice car, not as peppy as the WRX or the Mini would be off the line, once they get rolling a little they do ok
WRX, great car. My bro has one. Rides great, handles very well, just gets questionable mileage for the size and power. Dunno why, scubbies just never put down any MPG
VW GTI, you are basically buying an image car. They seem great but VW quality can be suspect. They spent several years at the bottom of initial customer satisfaction and never seem to get too far off the bottom of the list.
For me the debate would have to be between the 3 Speed and the Mini S. The 3 offers a little bit more space, the Mini is a more fun car to drive. Prices aren't far enough apart for that to be a big deal. The Mini will retain value better than any other car you listed.
