Does it drive and feel the same after the accident compared to before? This is the other thing I'm worried about - that the car won't ever feel "right" again.

Yes, the wheel/brake/etc assembly was laying in the ditch a few yards behind the car. There was a lot of discussion between the insurance company and the body shop about whether or not to total it. The body shop told me it was repairable, so I urged them do so if insurance would pay for it.
As far as I could tell, it drove exactly the same after the repairs.
If I hadn't had a body shop that I could trust, I would have pushed to have had it totaled. I, my family, and many friends have been using the shop for several decades. Great people.
