Which car to go for- Swift Dezire or Ford Feista?

Well i have been a maruti owner for many years and I currently drive a Zen and a M800. My experience with the company has been good but now I wanted to upgrade to a sedan. My budget was around 6-7 lakhs so I checked out many cars like Swift Dezire, Logan, Linea, SX4 and the Ford Fiesta. Since I drive less than 1000 kms a month I decided to go for the petrol version. Finally after many considerations I decided to eliminate Logan, Linea and the SX4. Now I have a choice between Swift Dezire ZXI and the Fiesta SXI. Both the versions offer similar features but the fiesta has an edge over the dezire as it has better drive quality, leather upholstery, a powerful engine and has no waiting period unlike the dezire. On the other hand swift offers a 6.1 lakh price tag (costs a lakh less than the fiesta), and maruti's cheap and reliable after sales service. After taking the test drive of the fiesta I wanted to go for it, but I have heard that Ford has a very costly maintenance and poor after sales service. The parts are not easily available and you always have to look out for an authorized ford service center for all kinds of repairs. Please throw some light over this issue and suggest me the right car.
