Hi !
i heard that the 2010 mazda 5 have problem with the paint.
premature rust ect.
anyone know more on this ?
thanks
 
i dont have problem with my 5 2010.
i heard it in a car tv show, they say that the mazda 3 had this problem before and they fix it in the new generation but they didnt fix it on the 5.
 
the protege's have lots of rust problems, but i have not seen or heard of them in the newer mazda's. (2004+)

that being said, my 2008 5 has a lot of paint chips, but i drive a lot of interstate, and MI uses a lot of salt and sand. Not to mention, stupid gravel haulers. however, i havent noticed any rust. (i fix the chips and was well) i doubt your 2010 would rust that quick.
 
I think the early 3s had rust problems that was fixed with the 06 model year, however no one on a local Mazda3 forum has reported problems. It could also depend on where you live.
