I wonder if they've improved in their more recent models? My Mazda3 was bought new exactly 5 years ago and has gone through salt encrusted Buffalo winters since - it has no body rust what so ever.
Fun car, can be had affordably and and relatively easy to work on. Mine's a stick, but if it's an auto - be sure to keep on top of the transmission flushes.
