We only had the time to enjoy our Tiida for less than a year and am sad to announce that it has been involved in a major car crash and has been written-off as a result

Here are the last pics of it straight after the accident and it's now gone for ever









The other car is a write-off as well.

Sorry to hear that.
Why did they write it off? Is there too much damage to fix it?
Are you going to get another Tiida?

 

[jalalski]

Hi,

Yes, far too much damage to the rear end of the car and the chassis are all twisted at the back due to the whole impact being on the rear wheel, so the insurance decided to write it off as the cost of the repair is more than 75% of the insured value of the car.

As this was my wife's Tiida, I gave her the option to get another brand new Tiida but she declined and went to the dark side.....2007 Corolla Ascent is what she got instead.

I was very happy to drive the Tiida, little powerful car for sure, my only gripe about it was the excessive fuel consumption which was around 11.5LT/100kms from the day we got it, which is simply too much for a 1.8LT engine.

Jalal!

No good mate

I hope your wife is okay, cars can be mended, people are a little harder

Shame she's turning to the dark side, I feel all alone all of a sudden

 

[jalalski]

Thanks mate,

You're right. It was lucky that she and my 2 boys (who were sitting at the back) walked out of it without any major dramas.

At least I still have my Nissan

I enjoyed modding the little Tiida.

that would have been more incentive to get another one, our little cars are very safe... good luck in you travels.... dont be a stranger, stop in and say hi...

Glad everyone was ok, sorry to hear about the car

 

[robj80]

Hope everyone is safe. That tiida took that hit like a champ. I gotta say those pics make me feel like I definitely made the right decision. The Versa/Tiida seem very safe.

epic fail on what looks to be a subaru?

its good to hear everything ended up okay

 

[jalalski]

Yep, the other car was indeed a Subaru and the strange thing is that none of the airbags of the subaru deployed with that kind of frontal impact.

 

[AusTiida]

That's not unusual. My friend had a Honda CSV, had a smash so bad the front right corner of the car (including wheel, strut tower...the lot!) was GONE and the airbags didn't go off.
