What you've heard is probably right. The doors are useless once the car is submerged, because of the pressure of the water against them pushing them shut. If the windows are electric, then it's likely that the motor will be shot, so rolling them down before the motor is blown is a good idea. You could break them, but that's harder than it seems.
So do people in such cars drown or do they suffocate? I would think there'd be enough air in the car to last for a while. And if the car does fill with water, then you can open the doors, right?

I should have taken notes last night.
