In the vastness of the web you can often stumble on the belief that all the cars in our time - it's just a rotten box. But there is (eg) the car brand Audi, which does not rot, because they have in the back of a lot of aluminum. In fact, this statement is very controversial, and all because of the rust of the body is actually a genuine lottery. On the other hand, there is a more or less proven statistics.
Experts of the Swedish Research Institute of corrosion conducted a large study of the automotive market. To this end, they have selected 30 models of cars from different countries. All this was done in order to identify candidates with the highest and lowest resistance corrosion, regardless of external conditions (maintenance, climate and weather, the quality roads). In addition, the experts were interested in the quality of anti-corrosion treatment of these machines.
In the experiment, took part models from 2002-2005, the production of which were operated by drivers over 3-6 years. For the analysis, scientists have collected data from the doors, hood, rear fenders, sills. It is important to stress that scientists have taken cars that are constantly driven on roads, covered with icing coating (which increases the chances of development of corrosion). What turned out in the end?

Issue 2002-2003,
The most reliable in the issue of resistance to corrosion were assigned the following cars: Audi A4, Volvo 70-series, Volkswagen Golf, Mercedes C-class, Opel Astra and Renault Megane. In addition to machines with reliable body 40 are allocated Volvo-series, Volkswagen Passat, Mitsubishi Carisma, Nissan Micra and Skoda Octavia, Saab 9-5, Citroen C5 and Peugeot 307. This applies to vehicles produced in 2002-2003.
At the same time, when it comes to the release of 2002-2003 are unreliable cars were classified as Mazda6, Ford Focus, Seat Ibiza, Ford Mondeo, BMW 5-Series and Mercedes E-Class. We did not find something to praise, and such cars as the Toyota Corolla, Saab 9-3, BMW 3-Series and Fiat Punto.
Issue 2004-2005,
When we are talking about a later release, namely 2004 and 2005, the experts were surprised to notice that the position in the ranking has changed. In the first place there was the BMW 5-series. To secure the auto were also attributed Nissan Micra, Renault Megane, Volvo 40-series, Ford Mondeo, Peugeot 307, Saab 9-3 and Fiat Punto, Opel Astra and Volvo 70-series, Saab 9-5, Skoda Octavia, Volkswagen Golf and Citroen C5.
Changes in 2004-2005 were made and most of rusting cars. List looks as follows: Kia Picanto, Ford Focus, Hyundai Tucson, Toyota Corolla and BMW 3-Series. Also, do not praise and Volkswagen Passat with the Mercedes A-class. In this case, the worst proved itself a model Hyundai Santa Fe from 2005.

conclusion
Thus it is quite obvious that no "immortal" cars on the market does not exist. reliability indices car body and its resistance to rust vary greatly depending on the year of manufacture.
Continuing the theme 9 things clearly prove that the owner of a used car is cheating on the market and not only.
