It STINKS!!! Horrible gas mileage because we rented that once and it gave gas like a truck. here is an advice, never buy a hyundai, Suzuki or Kia, because all of them are unreliable. There are many better cars out there that are cheaper...try a honda, that is the best place you can spend your money. This vehicle has 5 seats....if you buy a honda fit, it has the same seats and more cargo room, and it gives excellent mileage. I am just giving you advice. Research on your own...but the best choice I see in your case is the Fit. And of course it has airbags...all cars require some type of airbags...I don't know if 4 wheel drive is an option....but that will require more GAS. So, my suggestion is not to buy this car...but buy a honda fit....or something similar...even a toyota corolla...your choice. And here is a picture of what not to buy (you asked for it, so I gave it):
