@Kwek00 30 years ago? yeah. I live on the coast, even "Inox" steel rusts here, and my 17 years old 500 has no rusting issues whatsoever.
The problem now is that they're just as expensive as better brands like Toyota, and come with an engine known for self-destruction. But not really rusting
Also at least back then you could've said "well yeah it may not be perfect but I paid just 5k", now even a goddamn Panda costs 20k, and they'll sell you an engine that needs its belt changed every 50k km, the oil checked every 10k, and whose interiors/plastics will vibrate like an electric dildo even on the flattest roads, let alone with the avg. asphalt quality we have in Italy and Belgium 😅
