[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I consider them deal breakers when looking for a new vehicle. Unfortunately, knee air bags are not on a lot of cars, including Hyundai SUVs. This is my reasoning:

Blind Side Warning - Always going to take a quick glance out the window before changing lanes anyway, but why not have the milliseconds that come with knowing if there is a vehicle in my blind spot before even considering a lane change?

Knee Airbags - both my wife and I have had knee injuries from car accidents under identical circumstances. Steering wheel air bag goes off but collision momentum results in lower body still moving, hence knees bang into bottom of instrument panel. Thinking that knee airbags would prevent these types of injuries.

Interested in what other people think about these two features? Even in Subaru's, blind side warning is not standard on the Legacy so getting both these capabilities is a challenge and people seem to discount them.[/quote]

My new Jeep has blind side warning.  Thought I'd hate it but don't.  Knee airbags I can live without.  Of course, I also live without doors when the weather permits, so you might discount my view there accordingly.[/quote]
