The Fiesta is supposed to be a subcompact. They're almost always cheaper than a compact, which is what the Elantra is. Compact cars are becoming almost as large as full size. The Accent was sold for under $10,000 for a while. I don't know if that deal still exists, but no Fiesta comes that cheap.
As for the Elantra, I've also heard that it may be on its way to becoming a best seller in its class.

That's a bit of a no brainer then really. Go for a car that costs slightly less, made by a manufacturer with better brand equity, and likely to hold its value better than any Hyundai or Kia!!
Who are Hyundai and Kia trying to kid by attempting to raise their prices??! Both manufacturers are placed firmly in the budget section of manufacturers.
