Rust on WRXs?
How well do WRX hold up in the snowy states?
I'm looking for a bugeye wagon and seeing if I should worry about rust on these cars. Since it's an AWD, I bet it's drive in the snow!
If there is, what should I look out for?
Thanks

Rear fender just above the bumper is a common spot. My gf's bugeye is rusting there. Mine has a few years left considering it's spent most of its life in the south.

I am 60 and I have never seen snow so I am not an expert on these things but isn't it the "salt" that they put on the roads that prevent ice from forming that causes the rust. I know imported cars from the northern islands of japan often have rust problems..
