I am looking at buying a Nissan Leaf but the Japanese imports only have two airbags, although it has a 5 star safety rating, according to the dealer. Is this still a safe vehicle to drive (we have a baby in the back seat).

Hi there,
The NZ new leaf from 2012-2015 has a 5-star ANCAP rating, and has side and curtain airbags fitted. http://rightcar.govt.nz/find.html?keywords=Nissan+LEAF&q=1%7C29%7C%7C2%7C4123%7C%7C
Imports with 2 airbags are unrated and any safety information is unavailable. But if you are looking for a safe pick, here is a guide: http://rightcar.govt.nz/find.html
