We have one c900 with airbags and ABS and one that has neither. I also prefer neither, but such is life.
In the c900 manual, it says to take the car back to the dealer to test the air bag system after 10 years. I did that! The dealer had no idea what I was talking about. I believe there was a connector or something (there was a thread on that on the c900 bb) but I have never tested it.
OTOH, there was a fairly recent report over there of someone who unfortunately did get to test the airbag in the c900 (in a collision). Apparently everything worked properly even after all these years and everyone was ok... However, it always sad to hear of another c900 that is gone to the scrapyard!
Airbags do serve as protection from hard (cheap) interiors. The design of earlier SAABs with compressive surfaces everywhere is imho much better. Passive safety is less likely to fail than a safety feature based around electronics, explosives, and a 1 time use based design! I suppose the only downsides are dashboard cracks... ha!
