JP - I'd never heard of unusual rust problems on Mazdas. Very interesting. Is that typical of other cars in the Toronto area?
Also, was it undercarriage rust from road chemicals, or ...?

Thanks.

It doesn't seem as bad with newer cars (yet?) all the ones I have seen start rusting around the rear wheel wells.
In terms of German cars, while SWMBO loves her Mini and we have a 16 year old Beetle that keeps plugging away I think my Kia is more reliable - and cheaper!
a few years ago they did a survey in Germany and asked
what is the best car in the world.
the answer: Audi, Mercedes, VW and BMW
what is the worst?
Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Honda
what was the best car you ever owned?
