Crashed my Yaris - Few Questions

Hello everyone. Firstly, just want to say this forum is a brilliant resource. Only just discovered it and joined but already been browsing a lot of the guides and finding them greatly informative.

Anyway, the other month I sped down an extremely steep hill. Didn't see a sharp left hand bend, slammed on the brakes and turned. Under-steered right into some trees. When I say trees, I don't mean like massive great old oaks with massive trunks. They were very spindly and more like a bush. Yaris did a great job of protecting me as the driver. None of the air bags fired but I didn't really feel a thing on impact. Front of the car was ruined though. Lights popped out and strewn all over the place. Radiator bent backwards towards the engine.

Car was towed away to local garage in town and I got on the phone with my insurer. I thought it might be a write off but they gave the go ahead for a repair. It's been a few weeks now and I should get it back any day.

My question is - will I notice a difference when I get it back, in terms of handling and power? Also, how have I effected the worth of my vehicle? I feel really bad about crashing it, I considered myself a reasonable driver until now and this has made me doubt myself. Worst thing about it all is that I'm not actually the owner of the car. I'm 19, just insured on it and it belongs to my parents. Feel like a total idiot.

Cheers guys.
