( ^ Spelling and grammar corrected) A semi what? Those 5 stars make sure both myself and the other people (such as pedestrians) remain alive, rather than "4 star perhaps dead". Read the detail behind the summary tables. Since GM took over Saab, it has been a long climb for Saab to return to the same standards of safety they were revered for ten years ago. Saab today makes a good car and a much better car than it did at the launch of the 9-3 and 9-5 model ranges. Look at the EuroNCAP results for Saabs a couple of years ago (such as the 2000 model) - that tells a different story. This thread is discussing the 2000 model 9-3, which is not the same car as Saab produce today. The owner of that car is having a grumble about the standard and quality of tyres fitted three years ago. If he's thinking of changing to another car because he feels unsafe in his 2000 model, then he should take a long, hard look at those kinds of statistics. The other manufacturers that he was looking at, namely Toyota and Honda, do indeed fair much better than the 2000 model Saab 9-3, but do not fair as well as the current Saab range. Paul
