Have you crashed your S and had to claim?

Default Have you crashed your S and had to claim?

Unfortunately I've seen lots threads on crashes and also loads of smashed up cars on recovery trucks

If the statistics show a lot of crashes happen in the S during the first 0-6 months then surely this should be a note to all new S owners

Does it count if someone crashed into you and you weren't even in the car?

I've never crashed the S, but twice I have had people damage the car in car parks.
Both times no details left.

Not the nicest of polls to write, think most people like to forget when they've had a knock/write off

You need another option for the people that have crashed more than once ....

Crashed and had to claim more than once.

Once for me; 1 - 3 years.

unfortunately, there will be loads more crashed in the next couple of months

the cars are quite affordable now

so you have more younger drivers buying them

almost none of whom will have ever driven anything as powerful with rwd

so it's inevitable really

and in answer to the question, I haven't crashed one
