Side-impact safety: 2 doors vs 4 doors

I'd still by the one that suits my needs otherwise. If you are
concerned about safety, just don't ride with or near Tiger Woods. The
GV80 he was driving had 10 air bags, that can make a big difference.


Yeah, I think it had an airbag between the left and right seats. Didn't
even know they made that.

I also read that it's a dangerous spot, another woman rolled over there
a while back. Of course that doesn't stop 1000's of people a day from
driving by without trouble/


Like you, I get the car I like. I DO have a 2-door car, but otoh it
has barely any roof, none in the summer time. My plan is to not roll
over, so I don't drive next to cliffs or downward slopes.
