I just bought a mazda3 and I noticed that the read suspension components have surface rust. I live in the UK so the car has been exposed to some harsh winters and salt, but I wanted to check if this is a normal amount of rust for the age and if I should worry about it. This are the worst parts...

Hi all, I searched the forums pretty carefully before posting this, but I apologize if it has already been covered and I missed it. There are several threads covering 2014-18 models but there don't seem to be any for the BL generation. I'm curious to hear from those of you who live up North...

I'm looking to purchase a used 2014 Mazda 3 sedan @80,000kms and found out the rust situation on the brakes look pretty bad. I'm not technical enough to understand how bad this is or whether some of it is just expected wear and tear from a 5 year old car. I'm in a city with harsh winters and...

Got me a 2014 m3 a bit over a month ago with only 36,000 Miles. The car drives great, interior is great, paint is shiny, but then I started noticing rust. First just a tiny bit of surface rust on one of the rims. No problem. Then I found rust around some of the under hood bolts, these bolts are...

So I noticed on the top of my car right behind the windshield there are 2 small paintchips with rust in them. What would be the proper course of action for getting the rust off and then reapplying (I assume some kind of DR. Paintchip) paint?
