Executive Cars
With nearly £170,000-worth of metal under the spotlight here, our experts
expected a tough challenge. However, it was the cheapest car, Saab's 9-5,
which was the toughest nut to crack - while Jaguar's XJ8 was far too easy a
target, despite being £13,355 more expensive. BMW and Audi should think
again, too.  
Things just keep getting better for the Swedes. Runner-up in its group last
year, the 9-5 is now a worthy winner. All the boxes got a tick with the
exception of one - security glass on the side windows. Saab says it's not
fitted so emergency services can get into the car quickly after an accident.
One feature we particularly liked, and which is unique to Saab, is its
ability to be locked into gear. It is a clever additional precaution. 'The
car's security has really improved,' said Terry. 'Extra shielding on the
locks and electrical relays stop the central locking being activated.' The
rear seats lock into place while a glass-break sensor and an excellent tilt
alarm justified Thatcham's maximum rating.
Thatcham rating: Exellent security
