Is your 5th gen rusting yet?

I guess it is a 5 year old car, but underneath the car and everything still looks great. My rear window tracks are rusted too, though they were like that when I got the car last year. I am gonna give my body shop a call and see if they can touch it up before it starts to get worse.
just wondering if anyone else is getting rust yet. damn northern ohio winters!

Rust in various parts of the underbody (noticed a lot of it on the mating surfaces of the engine mount crossmember, the engine mount welds, etc.)
A little around the trunk area, in the engine bay... etc.

No rust on my 95SE. I had it Diamond coated, rustproofed and leather protected before I picked it up - a good investment in my view. The car isn't driven very much in ice and snow and I try to get it cleaned up ASAP after roads have been salted, which isn't often as I live at the Coast. It helps to have the undercarriage and wheel wells cleaned periodcially in the winter, along with the rest of the car.

I've observed rust on mine. Any rust that i observed on my car (around the door edges, trunk edges, etc.) i sanded the rusted part, primered it, and painted with touch-up paint and clearcoat, good as new..that is until other ones pops up.

I would check also the underside of the rear side panels where they meet with the rear bumper. Nature can get to it there....also the frame of the trunk, where the water is channeled from the top to the bottom..But these are half a decade old cars so....
Oh, I wonder if the holes for where the spoiler is attached is sealed enough so water can't get in....
