Yes , SN, in long run & for resale value , you are correct . But msil is known for good ASS and TATA s are also improving by leaps and bounds .And who wants to invest now for the resale value after 3 to 5 years ?

Maruti Suzuki doesn't have a good genuine 7 seater in it;'s line up. Ertiga does have seven seats but the last row is very in space and putting two adults in last row would be a crime in Ertiga. True MSIL has good ASS and resale value but if you are looking for a genuine 7 seater which can accommodate 7 adults with comfort then you need to look at Innova, Tavera and Xylo.
Tata has some good products but they have almost no quality control in there manufacturing process and probably the reason why their cars have niggling issues. Regarding ASS Tata ASS are the worst experience one can have atleast in my city. This became so famous in my city and is probably the reason why their dealership looks deserted now.
Have you ever come across an owner of Innova who has complained about it's poor quality or bad ASS experience or any reliability issues? When you buy an Innova it just keeps running and running no matter how you maintain the vehicle. Most car's resale value goes down by 40-50% after 5 years of ownership and more than 1lakh kms in odo but in case of Innova it still somehow manages to have 70-80% of its value.
My advise would be to go for Innova if you can extend the budget slightly.

Ask yourself how many hours a month you would put 2 adults on the 3rd row of Ertiga ??
Based on the answer go with Ertiga or Innova.
I am an Innova owner who has driven the Eritiga a lot. Honestly I feel Innova is old technology. Toyota has put in an undertuned commercial engine in MUV (mini van) that makes lot of noise. The gear stick is like a commercial one wrapped in leather. Having said that, it's the best vehicle in India today (under 20L) if you have to haul 7 people. High quality!!
Ertiga is also high quality, better engine, better mileage than Innova, excellent ASS, drives like a car (gear stick is like a joy stick), super handling, super braking, excellent interiors, loaded with safety features, much cheaper than Innova, etc., (I can go on and on). Only problem is 3rd is a bit tight.
Once you answer the question you'll know which one to buy.
Note: If you plan to put just 1 adult on the 3rd row then you'll have a harder time justifying the need for Innova.

Go for Storme man.It's the Real SUV:)
Surfer, based on the inputs you provided nothing beats a Storme for sure.
Innova was good contended but budget issues sidelined it.
Now you need to look at your 7 ppl who would be riding the vehicle and reflect them in adjusting those in Storme Vs Ertiga and make a decision.

since the tata car concerned on this thread is Storme , please provide info or QC issues found in storme so that OP would find them useful during decision making.
The city concerned on this thread is Pune , hence he need to read ASS feedback from storme owners from Pune.
If at all the OP buys & happens to visit your city and somehow needs to visit TASS then your city TASS becomes important.
In case of Toyota , there are n numbers of cities where Toyota ASS facility doesn't exist but MASS
and TASS does.

TASS generally are not considered the best in our country and i can't comment on Safari Storme as it's new in market but i know very well about Tata Aria which shares all mechanical and underpinning with new Safari Storme. Owning an Aria is a big headache and i know this very clearly as my company owned an Aria sometime back. My company usually used to buy Innovaand run it for 2yrs or 1.5L kms and then sell it off and buy another Innova (Usually get around 70-80% as it is very well maintained). Admin manager made the desicion to buy Aria for a change and that landed him in big trouble. Car seized 4 times during initial 2 months ownership and at times electricals would play havoc also. Fed up after some very poor diagnostic skills from TASS and an incident were it broke down with a UK client onboard while on a trip to airport which nearly led to client missing his flight it was finally sold off at over 6lakh loss.

Second row AC, rear wash wipe, fog lamps.
Not possible, already stretched a lot.I 100% agree with you that Innova is very good.
Ertiga for me.
Yes , I have done TD, didn't liked it.Also interiors are not that good. NVH is high.
It looks too boxy also.And average is also less that Ertiga.
Its better suited if we go for base diesel model and save a lot money.
Agree.
At least it is better in Pune , that I know.
Humm but even I had spend a lot on my 8 year old zen.
Still I prefer storme.
Every one knows that XOVI
I am waiting for W4
