From your list I`m not sure why you find the Acura RSX so much more desirable than the Civic Si as they are basically the same car under the skin. I would not buy a 4-bolt 2002 - 2003 Si as they were severely under tired with their 15" wheels. The `04 & `05 mostly addressed this with the switch to 5 bolt 16". If you go with a non-Type S RSX I`d look for an `05 or `06. The RSX Type S Acura is a different animal entirely although good examples are no longer easy to find at least in the Northeast.
Finding a non-beat $10k WRX will also be a challenge.
The only Mazda Speed 3 I`ve driven was fun but had way too much torque steer for my tastes. I`ve never driven a Speed 6.
A $10k M3 sounds like the stuff of nightmares.
Mustang GT, not a snow car as others have noted.
