Vasya,
My experience with Mazda'a has been quite different. I had a 1988 B2200 pick
up (before the current Ford version) for 12 years, (Oregon, no less) Never
had a spot of rust (Moss, yes, Rust no...)
Had a 1999 Miata on a lease for two years (It was a year old when I got it)
and never had a rust problem.
Both vehicles had spotless mechanical records and were fabulous to drive (I
regret selling both vehicles.)
