Yes they are safe, though no airbag on the series 1 models. Airbag came in late 1993 if memory serves, with the facelifted series 2 range. I have both series 1 and 2. You still get some serious side impact beams on the series 1 as well, and it feels a bit more solid than the newer model. The newer one feels a bit less solid, but has the driver's airbag.
