As mentioned by earlier posters egress from a car that goes into the water is no joke even in a training scenario, this is why I recently bought an egress tool for our family car... basically a small hammer which will powder a window and allow you to escape. Trying to open a door is impossible until the vehicle is nearly full of water and in the meantime you are panicking and breathing from an ever smaller air pocket. It is relatively easy to end up with your vehicle in the water, and escaping the vehicle ist he difference between life and death. I would encourage all of you to buy a tool and discuss its use with your family (tap a window and NOT the windshield) and I hope nobody ever needs to use this knowledge.
