As far as safety - you can't beat a 9000. I survived (actually without a scratch) a side impact from a fully loaded 18 wheeler doing about 60 MPH in my '95 Aero. He hit me on the side at an angle - pushed me into a wall and draged me for about 100 yards. Needless to say the car was totaled, but the structure held up fine. Any other car and I probably wouldn't be writing this post, or at least a lot skinnier. It turns out that the '95 9000 was the strongest side impact car built that year. I now have another '95 9000 aero.
