If you are looking for a complete peace of mind then it is worth waiting for swift. Best After Sales Service with enough reach even in rural areas. Quick response to issues leading to parts replacement. Both these I have first hand experience Hyundai (My earlier car was Santro) and Maruti (I own a Swift D now). Let me give those -

1. Invariably Hyundai servicing cost was anywhere between 5000-6000 every 5000 km except for first 10000 kms which was free servicing with minor replacement of parts (Oil seal etc which was covered under warranty). Maruti Swift D 10000 km servicing costs 1000 rs., 20000 km servicing costs 4000 rs. and 30000 km servicing will be less than 2000 (Projection based on the maintenance schedule). Maruti doesn't con you with unnecessary replacements.

2. When I wanted a simple part (Hose pipe from the fuel filling inlet to the fuel tank), I had to wait two weeks for the part to come from Madras in case of Hyundai. Maruti replaced my ECU when it had an issue in a matter of 10 days (that too when the car was new and there was huge demand for the car in the market).

3. Once my Santro had an accident and I had to get a tow vehicle to tow it to the Hyundai A.S.S. I didn't get a tow vehicle even after 2 hrs of wait within bangalore city and hence had to temporarily fix the damaged rear door and the bumper and drive it to the service center myself. I do not have a first hand experience of Maruti breakdown service response but I have heard they are pretty good and the coverage is great even in rural areas.
