Does anybody know for sure wether or not Subaru use galvanised steel to build the Impreza??
Due to flaky underseal on my '99MY, I'd feel better about the salt / rust issue.
Cheers guys

Gina G,
The body panels are not galvanised(paint dont like it) but are plated with a zinc based metal, so corrosion should not be a problem unless the plating is breached by way of sratch damage or constant stone chipping.
With regards to your other posting about underseal, most underseals semi-set, and you can in fact apply more than one coat, you just have to wait a while for the first coat to cure, as you would in between paint coats.
Hope this helps
