I've driven the GTi and MS3 plenty and the 2012 Focus, just not the ST.
I'll put it this way. Race track? MS3. DD? GTi. Best compromise of both? Focus ST.
I prefer the driving position, steering feel, and shift of the Focus, so I imagine it's magnified on the ST. The GTi is far too easy to hit its limits, and the MS3, I find a touch too hardcore. The cable shifter setup is a bit harsh and imprecise.
The only hatch I prefer above all isn't even sold in the U.S. But, if there was a Renault Twingo 133 or Megane 265, I'd get one and never look back.
