The Elantra is crap. I've driven 5 in the last 2 years alone, and NONE drive as nice, or move as well as the Focus. Plus, the standard power windows is frankly annoying. Some of us don't want stupid little rat wheels running our windows for us, or burning out in the dead of winter.
The engine is buzzy... it makes a friggin Crapalier sound like it came out of Lambo's factory. The transmissions are normally nice, but the suspension has more wallow than a herd of Hippopotami making their rounds of the Nurburgring. Absolute trash.
The interior screams "Grandma's car" more than any Focus ever will (even the 05), and the seats are laughable. Need I go on?
They're dirt cheap because they're made cheap. They're like crack for the automotively-challenged. They're available RIGHT NOW because you need wheels and don't have the time to spend making an informed decision. Just my 2 cents.
