Do Curtain Airbags Make a Difference? V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Newbie on  Sun Dec 28 18:39 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I understand that the 2001 year V70s started to have "curtain" or headliner airbags that protect the face in side impacts. I'm looking to buy my first V70 and see that the 2000 and early model years are like $5000 less than 2001+ model years. Do the curtain airbags make a difference, or is the side airbag adequate?

I'm also intigued that Volvo never let NHTSA crash test the V-70 (I checked NHTSA.DOT.GOV's website last night and not a single model year V-70 was crash tested.
