don't panic....it can be fixed. but make sure they do it right. strip to metal, and if a part is rusted through, replace the panel. it might be expensive, but it's the only way to keep it from recurring.
are you the only owner of the car? maybe a prior owner had it repainted and the latero did a shitty job...
rust on a 13 year old car is not uncommon, but could also be a sign of neglect. like you said, you have other cars the same age and they have no rust. the fact that it is black has nothing to do with the problem.

April 22nd, 2006 11:42 AM #13Thank you for your replies guys!
it gives me a much better understanding now. i am happy to know that it is common for this particular year model....that SUCKS!!
yes i am the first owner and will have to admit that this car was really well protected from the elements but i guess there is nothing you can do when the factory does an average job in building the car body....
too bad i was impressed with everything else about my "durable" car, (shocks, exhaust, electricals, underchassis etc), turns out the body was shitty!!, really disappointing since our 1990 corrolla and 1989 lancers body even lasted longer (didnt rust) compared to my 1993 civic
thanks again!
cheers!!
