C5 Airbags

I am looking into purchasing a C5 Hardtop. I have not yet decided on which year. Can someone tell me if any of the C5 model years, have side impact airbags of any kind? Thank you, Ken in Melbourne Florida.

I don't think any C5's had side impact bags, just front driver/passenger.

No side impact airbags in any C5. The C6 does.

Thanks Bob.... It (the side air bag issue) was something my fiance had asked me about.... It has no bearing on whether or not I buy a C5 and side airbags are a nice to have, but it was something that was really much more important to her than to myself....

You might ask a shop that has repaired the air bags on a C6. I would think the logistics would be prohibitive. You would probably be way ahead of the game to just buy a C6.
