If you don't live in the rust belt or anywhere where roads are salted in winter you should be okay though
Where I live, the roads get salted quite a bit during the winter. Not to the levels of the rust belt but in a typical winter they probably salt the roads 10+ times minimum. I have had 2 mazdas and no rust issues. I don't see any newish mazdas around here with rust issues. We do have a parking lot full of Hondas and Toyotas with rust issues, though, but that is mainly because there are a lot more of them.
