But how do you explain the fact my Ford/Toyota/BMW cars at 10 years old do not have any rust and my Mazda at only 5 years did? I have driven them all on the same roads for years from new and followed an identical and equal washing schedule for all cars?

I stand by my comments, Mazda's rust early, they must have used cheaper paint and/or have lesser rust protection.

"Mazda's rust on the showroom floor" - a quote I used to see often around the internet about cars from this time.
