Its not balls to the wall fast like the STI, but its far from slow. Very similar in terms of design, its more comparable to a normal WRX though.

I too would recommend the Mazda. I currently drive the Mazda3's predecessor (Protege5) and haven't had a single problem with it aside from worn out struts (bought used).
Not as flashy as a BMW or Subaru, but Mazda really does put out some quality products.
That said... if you want to go on a family vacation in it, I'd recommend getting a larger vehicle then any of the one's you've listed.
