They don't come with any air bags. If you get hit from the side by an suv you will suffer some major head injuries maybe even death depending upon how fast you get hit from the side.

[HakemEX]

You're alright. Those cars were made out of a lot of real steel, so You're pretty safe. Only thing is, they don't come with a lot of airbags.
