Federal Law requires all cars sold in the US to be equipped with a passive restraint system. (air bags) If ur state has an safety inspection requirement u will fail that. You will also have an airbag warning light on the dash. And if u r ever in an accident u be facing a hard steering wheel rather than an air bag.

The Subaru is a great car, with excellent safety, do not mess that up just for the sake of looking cool. (Besides how cool will it look to have ur face smashed in during an accident?)

No. Check out extremely expensive and high performance cars, they have no dead weight airbags at all. I'd bet that the manufactures pay huge ''taxes'' for it too.
