Wow, that's amazing, but pretty normal for japanese cars out east. There's a reason japanese cars are lighter and "tinny-er"compared to european cars...thinner sheetmetal!

Do they offer a rust perforation warrantee? I know our New Beetle is 10 year unlimited KM's.

...actually, I remember seeing a year-old BMW that was getting the rust bubbles.

ONE YEAR OLD.

it was a dealership's loaner car...when dad was considering what to replace Miss Viv with (he would have bought out in alberta but we started looking in Ontario) he wanted to see a model without a sunroof - and the loaner was the only one they had with no sunroof lol so I noticed hey...rust bubbles already...beware the bmw!

Yes it's covered by the warranty. But it doesn't matter, it's still laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame! [-(

It just show that when they says that they use better steel, better rust proof material than before and car last longer, it's just buuuuuuuuuuullshiiiiiiiit!!! :roll:

It's a 3 days job to fix. Which mean that by thursday, there will be a "for sale" sign on it. :-#

You can't fight chemistry...maybe you guys in Quebec should figure out how to deal with your snow without resorting to NaCl.

You should know that the Québecois are a bunch of pitiful whiners (guilty :oops: ). Especially in southern Quebec. 3 kilograms of snow for every snowflake. :roll: People are too stupid to buy snow tires, learn the basic of driving and slowing down. (I'm innocent of these crimes! :mrgreen:)

They have way more snow in the east than here. They have less excuse than calgarians. I'm still to see the road crews in Alberta to put salt BEFORE it start to snow. :?

Calgary uses a bit of salt, but definitely not as much as east
