The Saab 900 94-97 didn't do well in scripted crash tests, but has proven to be safe in real world crashes. The Swedish insurance company Folksam collects information about real accidents and publishes its findings. The result for 2003 can be found here: < http://www.folksam.se/forskning/trafik/sakra_bilar/2003/bilListaStorlek.htm > Red bar is bad (more than 15% worse than average car), and green bar is good (at least 30% better than average car). The best is green bar with a gold star (at least 40% better than average car), a class Folksam had to create because of one car, the Saab 9-5. Some telling examples from the list: Saab 900 79-93 blue at least more than 15% safer than average car Saab 9000 85-97 green at least more than 30% safer than average car Opel Vectra 89-95 yellow as safe as average car Saab 900 94-97 green at least more than 30% safer than average car Saab 9-3 98-02 green at least more than 30% safer than average car Opel Vectra 96-01 blue at least more than 15% safer than average car Saab 9-5 98- green* at least more than 40% safer than average car Would you like to drive a Saab 900 79-93 or a Saab 900 94-97 in a crash? Would you like to drive a Opel Vectra 89-95 or a Saab 900 94-97 in a crash? Would you like to drive a Saab 9-5 98- or a Opel Vectra 96-01 in a crash? -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
