Hello all, soon to be new XA owner here with my first newb/q.

A simple opinion question to begin. should I get the side air bags or not??

Any one have any crash data on the differences between the two??

I'm asking 'cause my dealer can't locate the colour I want with side bags and a manual trany, but has found one with out the bags.

Might as well do this as a poll.

 

If side airbags had been available to me on my xB I would have chosen the option.

Valid safety options are a simple choice for me: Yes.

 

If it will save your life in the case of an accident then by all means, Yes, they are worth having them.
