About 5 years ago, my daughter, who is now 21, flipped her 900S end-over-end TWICE at about 65 mph and crawled out with only a few bruises. Of course the car was totalled, but the event sold me on the ability of a Saab to sacrifice it's life for it's driver. That car was replaced with another 900S
Well, this morning my 17 year old daughter slid off our rural road in her 900S (oddly enough, the same year and color), plowed through some trees, rolled it and ended up wedged sideways deep in a ravine. This happened about 1/4 mile from our home and she called me from the car. She was trapped and couldn't get out and she smelled smoke (which turned out to be from the airbag). I was there in about 3 minutes, and with the help of another guy who stopped, we eventually got her out but it took about 10 minutes because she was really stuck in there. The cause by the way was black ice and probably a little excessive speed.
Again, the car is totalled but she is completely unharmed - not even a bruise or scratch, and again I feel that I owe this to the Saab's superior engineering.
Guess I'm in the market for another used one.
