School me on B-series wagons...

Shufflin and I will be looking into purchasing a B-series wagon in the next couple of months, all things going to plan.

Can all you late model gurus give us an idea of what trim levels they came in, common things that break that are expensive or cheap to fix, little options that people may have added that add value etc. What's the go with the ICC? Only available in pov pack LCD version?

Not interested in LPG at all so it will have to be straight petrol cars.

I assume the rear doors and rear seat bases are the same between sedan and wagon, so if we were to come across an XR6 interior or similar everything would swap straight over bar the rear seat back?

My ba mk 11wagon is pov pack and it doesn't have a lid on the cup holder like my xr6t.
that is the one hate I have got for it.

it has the base stereo so only 4 speakers and one cd.
we're the premo has 7 speakers and 6 cd in dash.
they are a bit floaty in the rear but decent shocks should fix that.still has the electric driver seat and two air bags not 4 like the xr.
If you have a cargo barrier replace the actuator for the gate, it sux getting the cargo barrier out to open it. oh and no aux plug in the icc.

Futura was the highest spec.

and the back seats are different, the sedan back seat base is thinner due to the higher floor in the back for the fuel tank

Yeah unfortunatly the rear seats are different than SWB.

Futura spec is the way to go. 4x power windows. Color coded exterior mirrors and body side moulds. Cup holders in the rear seat. Fairmont headlights. But Futura got a shit colored interior.
Futura stopped in BF2.

I had a BF2 XT with optioned 4x power windows and seat airbags. That was a good combo. Stupid me sold that car and got a Ranger. Back in a wagon now 4lyf.

TAXI: I think the cup holder changed across the board for BA2. Except for LWB???
