Body rust!!! How much is too much??? pics!
When I change the oil, etc. the underbody has a lot of rust. The pics are various areas, but it is around the welds of the suspension mainframe. Is this normal?? I never paid any attention on other cars I've owned but this seems excessive.
Am I the only one with this problem or is it even an issue at all. I read of the post about the rear bumper mounts rusting out, but this is like cancer all over the underbody!!!

WTF...damn that's a lot of rust. Makes me wonder if I should really get the evo. Why do they rust so easy. for crying out loud the car is 30k what is mitsu thinking, or is this a rare situation with the evo. please excuse my ignorance because I want to buy one but I want to make it's going to last me a while.

Dude any car will rust ... if you get salt and **** on it. You have to spray your car down with water especially the bottom after you drive. atleast do it once a week
