okay so im in the market this month for a z...i found what i wanted but i couldnt get a price....the saleman 1) knew nothing about the z or waht he was talking about and 2) started giving me figures that were beyond my imagination, i think he thought me to be an idiot because im asian...well now iits hard to find a z that i like solely because of side curtain airbags...im starting to think ill just not care for them, btu thats why i posted this...

what do you gusy think, side airbags ues or no? do you ahve them? care for them? think itll be as useful safety wise as its should be?....im becoming less caring since the z itself has many various problems...maybe the airbags wont even work

thansk in advance guys

 

with all the crazy *** drivers on the roads today, I want them. but the real question is what are you gonna be doing with the car? if its gonna be a track car you might not want'm since you'll want to avoid weight.

 

well im planning to mod and hopefully track the z....but money...at least in modding the car will be slow and steady

 

Yup. I have them and can't imagine having ordered mine without them. They are a very cheap insurance in my opinion.

 

It's a safety item that should be standard. Both of my cars have them.

 

I think airbags are a waste, I've never used mine

 

yes, get them if you can. I wish mine had them.

 

I got them in my 05 Base. Pretty rare option on the cheapest car trim but I wouldn't want it any other way now that they've got airbags pretty much figured out
Waited 16 weeks for my car but it's got eveything I want and nothing I didn't want (except the problems that have come up since it got here )
Don't feel trapped into buying what the salesman can find you, order one if you are getting new!

 

True, coffins don't have them.

 

I went out of my way to find a car with the side air bags. Get them.

WTF? That dork must have been living under a rock, because the ongoing stereotype for "asians" are, that we are all rich geniuses

Seriously tho about the airbags, The Z feels and probably is that much safer with 6 of them

Good luck in your search.

 

I have them in my car and anything that will save my life is worth the extra money.

 

Crash tests on like vehicles with and without side curtain airbags show definitively that having them is better and safer.

 

Side Curtain Air Bags will also bring your insurance rates down.

 

+1 they pay for themselves.

 

mine deployed in an accident. they work. they helped.

 

my 03 base came with side curtain airbags as the only option besides the chrome kick plates. Don't drive a car w/o them or wear a motorcycle helmet....good luck.

 

What's an extra $550 (invoice price...which is all you should pay for them since they should be a standard feature anyway) versus the value of your life? Hopefully it's far less than a drop in the bucket. Once I had it in my head that side and curtain airbags were a good idea, I had to have them. And if all goes well, I will never need them. That's what insurance is all about. If it means you have to wait a few months, it's worth it. And if you are trading a car in, just negotiate your deal now and make sure they honor their current trade-in appraisal for your old car when it comes time to actually trade it in later.

 

I think it's obvious after everybody's reaction...

GET THEM!

 

^^^ haha yah i think its not even something i should consider anymore, ill just make the efforts to find a combo with them installed.

also on where are the side curtain airbags located? im not sure but i think i think theyre on the ctual seats, at least on the leather seats....soo anyone?
(bare with the noob question )

edit: whoops that was rude......THANKS GUYS FOR YOUR IMPUT/OPINIONS!
