buying new V70 ? V70-XC70

Our 1999 V70GLT has side airbags. I think they became standard on at least the GLTs in 1996 or 1997. Be careful in that SIPS does not mean side airbags. Rather it refers to a reinforced steel bar system in the doors. Is stronger than one without, but is not an airbag. Our 1993 940 has SIPS, but no side bags.

I realy love our 1999 V70. Have driven the new ones and they are great, if not better. One low point are the stereo controls, really lousy. One nob is turned to get to each preset, instead of individual buttons. They must have tried to be like the BMW 700 series with that nonsense. I may be prejudice, but I still like the overall interior of the 98 to 2000 V70 better.
