So, i totaled my pontiac fiero back in may. and just last thursday i totaled my 2005 malibu. I guess you could say i like getting into bad accidents, lol. Anyways, I just want to know if a 240sx is a pretty safe car. I did a search on google, and all i found out was that only s14's have airbags. so i had a couple of questions.

How many airbags does a 240sx have?

If i installed a full cage, would that make it more safe? (i know it helps when you roll over, but idk about side impacts.)

ummmm, i guess thats it for now, if i have anymore questions I'll post here.

thanks.

I believe they only have 2.
Steering wheel and the passenger side of the dash.

A cage would suck if you hit your head against it during a crash.

this. unless youre wearing a helmet every time you drive it, a full cage for dd use only isnt the best idea

Best method of being safe is not to drive like an idiot. Now if you already do that, then my next suggestion is to move to a place with less idiots on the road.

Side impacts are horrible.
