Series II Rust
Didn't find a thread on this, so I figured I'd post.
Rust issues on the Series I, mostly at the rear center brake light and in the rear wheel wells are well documented. But I'm curious as to how the Series II vehicles are faring. I saw elsewhere Mazda made some changes to the Mazda 3 in 2009 to combat rust issues, and I'm curious if they did something similar with the RX-8 with all the changes for the Series II. Anyone have any information?

I dont drive my car when its snowy or raining out anyways.
the center of my muffler where the pipe from the engine is blowing at gets pretty hot and there is some discoloration/rust to it. other than that not so much.

I'm going thru my 3rd winter, 50 000 miles (86000 kms) and no sign of rust. I take great care of it in the summer, compound in spring and wax 4-5 times through the summer. I was it regularly in the winter times as well and its sleeps in the garage most of the time.
I say so far so good
