While every accident is different, I personally am able to vouch for the 9-3... had both a 2003 9-3 and a 2008 Toyota Prius. Thankfully, on the morning of my fairly serious car accident in December, I was in the 9-3. At highway speed, lost control (icy patch? suspension failure? don't know), hit a guardrail on the side, which bounced the car back across two lanes of interstate, a grassy median, an exit ramp and came to rest after front impact with a rocky culvert. While I was banged up a bit (mostly from seat belt and shoulder belt restraints), no broken bones or serious injuries resulted. This just would not have been the same outcome in the Prius! Unfortunately, the 9-3 was totaled... but, that car did exactly what it was supposed to... it took the impacts and distributed them mostly away from me. Approximately two and a half weeks after the accident, I traded in the Prius for a 2009 9-3 :-)
Couldn't agree more that "we are lucky to have the 9-3"!
