In addition to Toyota Corollas and Honda Civics like others have mentioned, look for Mazdas as well. The Mazda 3 is a great car.
I heard that Mazda has rust problems on some of their models ? I will check that car and see ! Thanks :) !
I don't have experience with rust on cars since I live in California and the main conditions where cars rust (high humidity, snow / salt on roads) aren't a thing here.
I've got a 13 year old Mazda 3 that doesn't have any issues though. No rust, and no major repairs needed so far. I'm getting rid of it soon (replaced it with a BMW iX) but it's served me well for a long time!
