Don't make that stuff an issue. As long as she's got her seat belt on, stay away from the airbags. My mother suffered a broken neck from an airbag, and YES, SHE WAS WEARING HER SEATBELT PROPERLY!!!!! Thank God she wasn't paralyzed.......

As far as ABS, that depends on what kind of driver she is.......In my case, NOT having ABS on my 126 has saved me from having several wrecks...... And I drive in Winter in Michigan!!
