rust on wheel wells Mazda3
I recently found this thread. I have a "05 Mazda3 and I also have rust bubbles forming on the rear wheel well lip. I keep the car waxed and washed often. Since I noticed this I have been looking around at other Mazdas and notice that many of them also have this problem. I live in the north where salt is used in the winter. There seems to be little doubt that this car is going to have rust problems before long. I am thoroughly disgusted and will probably have to trade the car while I still can get something for it. It is a shame because I love the car otherwise. My last car which I bought new and kept for 16 years did not show rust until the last couple years. I am afraid there are going to be a lot of disappointed owners in the northern states in a couple years.
