Mazda 3 or Scion tC? 10 points?

My girlfriend BRIEFLY (2 months) owned a 2008 Mazda 3. The car spent more time on a lift than on a road and rust already started to appear (rust is a common problem on those). Needless to say the car got lemonlaw'd, she bought a 2008 Honda Fit Sport and now she's a happy camper. In other words the tC seems to be the better choice.
