Well I can tell you after 17 years of year round use in Michigan with salt and snow from November till March my vehicross is doing better than other vehicles I have owned or still own. The 2005 Chrysler town and country has way more rust. Yes the front bump is gone, but that was a piss poor design as many have had the same issue. I have stone/rock chips and a spot that always seems to get smacked where I always seem to shut the seat belt in the door and these areas started to rust (so I sanded/primed/repainted). But structurally I am realistically satisfied with how the vehicle has handled the crap I have thrown at it.
