My '01 wagon (208k km) spent 3 years in Toronto and the rest of its life in Winnipeg. Only rust issue is bottom rear corners of rear doors - it collects grit in there that wears away the paint and allows a rust spot to start. I've had it sandblasted and coated there twice now.
But I've never had any grief with rust seized fasteners etc.
Aluminum parts under the hood will show more white corrosion on a salty car. On my '01 the underhood parts are whitish while on my North Dakota '05 they are still shiny aluminum.
