The Focus and Hyundai are def the value leaders. I enjoyed driving the focus... feels like a more expensive car. If you are planning to keep the car for a long time then the warranty on the elantra is great. The nissan has poor quality, poor resale, solid rear axle suspension, cheap interior and drives cheap. Im not sure if ford is still running the 5yr 100,000 powertrain warranty. (my internet is too slow tonight to check it out.)
