Hi all,
I'm thinking of buying a Mazda2 for my mother in law and I live in a heavier snow/salt area. I know certain Mazdas in the early and mid-2000s had rust issues. How is the 2011-2014 Mazda2 for rust? I was under the impression Mazda improved their brand-wide rust issues by around 2010. I looked at a 2011 today which had some rust on the rocker panels and pinch welds. I've searched a bunch online and I'm not sure of the answer. My mother in law currently has a 20 year old car and I'd like her next one to last a similar amount of time. I'm a big believer in oil spray, but we can't prevent rust which had already begun.
Thanks for your input.
