I had a serious crash in my wife's brand-new 2001 ZTW - hit broadside by a pickup truck, slammed into a guard rail, over the guard rail and down a hill ... and written off. That car had no side air bags but the only injury I suffered was a burn on my wrist from the front air bag going off.
It's replacement however, and every subsequent car I've leased have all had side air bags - the Focus BTW was I believe the first car in it's class to offer them.
I'd like to see a more balanced testing protocol (ie: all with side air bags and/or all without) before I pass judgement on the relative safety of the Focus.
