You pays your money and you takes your choice.
All this worrying won't stop me driving mine regularly!
So it doesn't have a blo*dy air-bag, so what!

Thing is, if someone rear-ends you, there's a lot of impact space unlike modern hatchbacks where the rear seat is literally in the rear.

Just to add to the note on rear passengers, I saw a Fiat 500 on the back of a truck the other day. It had clearly been rear ended but something a little larger (X5/Range rover size) and the rear headrests were actually sticking out of the rear window. This also applies to a people carrier with really rear seats (Zafira) type...rear passengers won't always be safest!
