Here's a great testimony of the real-life safety of the Saab 9-3 convertible:

From the article:

Bibi gave her life to save us. The sturdy structure, and the twin roll bars behind the rear seats deployed as advertised, as did the seat belt tensioners.

Nice article. I have never seen those roll bars deployed in a picture but they must come up quite far.

Why is the ignition on the center arm rest?
It would make more sense to have the ignition system somewhere near the engine, not on the arm rest. Even the ignition key on the actual arm rest would be a bit inconvenient.

Yeah, that sounds uncomfortable! I'm glad the new 9-5 only has a start button!
