If you do go the mazda 3 or 5 route, make sure to get it undercoated, mazdas are pretty well always rusting after 5 plus years. They are great driving cars though.

I agree with Roger on the undercoating. Waste of money, is the nice term for it. Cars already come with undercoating.
If you want to take a few more steps though, you could add some extra from a roll on kit. Or spray rock guard from a can. The lower body could benefit from a heavy duty rock guard.
Keep the rocks out of the CV joints, and couple times a year spray a light oil underneath the car. Wax the body. And drive the Dickens out of it.
