Welcome!, and good choice! :)

Id love a 2ltr for extra power, But the 1.8 manages OK, I will turbo charge mine oneday to make up for it :)

I have no rust on mine, Im not sure what others experiance with rust is like?

No rust on mine either ...

http://www.pajerio.com/forum/strut-bar-problem

The link above will take you to a thread on the forum, that may or may not be a rust related problem - it's a little confusing - but it seems that at least one forum member has had the right side strut bar bracket come loose.  The reason I point this out is that this item is directly below the battery, and any spilled battery acid or electrolyte may have the result - my car has no rust there, but it also has no paint there - I've taken the pre emptive step of treating it with a rust neutralizer.

I've also come across a couple of reports on the net that suggest the fuel tank filler pipe, which runs above the right rear arch may be susceptible to rust, but no personal experience.
