Oh, the both the Saab 9-3 and the 9-5 got 5 stars. > > Paul That's misleading though. Due to Toyota and Honda high reliability you are less likely to lose control of your car (due to blowouts and such) as you are (see OP's blowouts) in a SAAB. I'd rather drive a car with 4 stars that never gets in accidents than a 5 star safety car that has tire blowouts and probably engine failures and god knows what else. Those 5 starts won't due you much good when the transmission seizes on you and launches you headlong into a semi.
