If you consider it a very real probability that you will have a crash significant enough that the front airbags will deploy in the next year or two, then you should not buy a car known to have the suspect Takata airbags.
I just bought an '07 9-3 SportCombi. I didn't give a 2nd thought to the airbag situation as the car it replaced also was on the list.
As I understand it, the failure rate was 88 ruptures in 1.2 million airbag deployments over 15 years. Let's put this into perspective.
Maybe slowing down, stashing your cellphone, and paying attention is all the protection we need?
I can remember when cars did not even have airbags, or shoulder-seatbelts for that matter.
