Yup Magna is lighter but its not just about torque. Magna is just not at the same level of overally performance as the Futura Wagon - it doesnt have the immediate 'power on tap' like a Falcon does, or dare I say it, a Commodore.

My personal opinion is that Magnas are for comapny cars, because they dont have anything special, just enough to keep you moving. If your circumstances dictate you need large stowing capacity, as well as the power to move whats in the car and do it well, its a no brainer.

Futura has everything you listed - power windows, airbags, CD, cruise etc. Im sure Magna does too but Im not too familiar with their specs.

Also remember resale in the magna will drop again when the new one comes out. Same can be argued for BA though I guess.
