A DRIVER'S airbag is provided as standard equipment, however a passenger airbag is unavailable at any price. Side intrusion bars are designed to provide occupant protection in a side impact. Pillar to pillar bracing is claimed to help provide a good occupant protection cage. The centre-rear seatbelt is a lap belt only, a design which does not provide good occupant restraint. The GTi has a good stopping arsenal with four-wheel discs and anti-lock brakes.
