Really?
That damage wouldn't even stop me, the hatch where it's pushed in, is super hollow, my button sticks in the winter and it bounces in/out about 2 inches... As for the rear bumper and all that, I would get a Junkyard part and roll, who ever said the Unibody is bent...MUST be JOKING???

Nothing underneath looks bent at all. Most of the impact was on the hatch. I did not attempt to open it as I figured I would never get it closed. I did look in from the back seat and did not see anything that was buckled in the floor area. The work truck had a seamless gutter machine in the back so it sat low in the ass and high in the front. That is why he got the hatch and not so much the bumper. I was sitting at a light and the guy said his foot slipped off the brake but he must have traveled a bit because it pushed me about 15 feet.

10th year owning my '08 and runs like it did off the lot. It has surpassed almost 15+ cars I've owned during the same time of ownership and has been in 5 accidents, all not at fault for me. I was actually swiped by a U Haul truck yesterday and waiting for estimator to assess damage. Almost 90k on the odometer |

Beyond that, Mazda does make some nice feeling/driving cars, and their inside cabins tend to be top notch for their price class - though Toyota somehow managed to ruin the looks of the Mazda2 with the iA front fascia, that's for sure. Of course, many people said that about the 2015+ Yaris front fascia also - so that's all subjective opinion in the end. As long as you like the looks of your car, that is what really counts. |

The estimator looked at then told them to do a tear down probably to get the hatch open and see what the metal looks like around it. He was back looking at it yesterday so should hear back soon. He did ask me if he did total it whether I was intersested in buying it back. I think either way I will lean towards a new 2018 L. Used is good but I will need to get maximum mileage out it. I see me running my next one the same as my 08 but now that I don't live up the gravel road from hell it will see less abuse. Thats what really amazed me about my 08. It spent quite a few years running that road that was one of the worst in the county and stiil went the distance.

Considering the backwards cosmetic changes and continued lack of no-brainer standard features versus other global markets on the 2018 Yaris (SE), there is zero chance that I would choose a 2018 Yaris SE over the iM at this point. The iM/Auris is just a better designed, equipped & styled car versus the 2018 Yaris SE, and it is even 100% built in Japan as a nice bonus. Plus, you can pick up an iM at certain times for LESS $$$ than a Yaris SE, with factory/dealer rebates and incentives factored in. It's just sad. Toyota might as well just discontinue the Yaris SE, and make the L/LE a fleet/rental vehicle only - like they did with the 2012 Yaris Sedan. Not like they stock them at the dealerships anyway.

Well they are going to total the old girl out after finding more damage. They are offering me $2200.00 and some change but I am going to work them for a little more. Now the good news. I put down a deposit on a new 2017 Yaris L hatchback (silver) today. I have been looking around and there are only 5 Yaris L's in the southeast now. I got an automatic so the family can drive it. I have been driving a Nissan Altima rental and it feels like a tank so it will be good to get back in a Yar. Lets see how many miles this one will do!

Silver is good. Is it a 2 or 4 door? Good luck with the insurance company. |
