Issues with my N16, are they common and are there any easy fixes?

First of rust, it seem's like every N16 Almera that i see has mild to severe rust problems, mine is pretty bad, the whole top of the windshield, the bar's that the front bumper and lights are attached to are so badly rotten that you could literally just rip them of. The N16 almera that i had before this one had the same problem and my grandmothers N16 is falling apart at the seams from rust. The rear windshield wiper motor on both my N16 and my grandmothers have all seized or broken and stopped working. The speakers in both of mine have been blown (i assume the are just shit). Heat shield rattle. Mild wheel shaking above 100-110 km/h (60-65 mp/h). Burning oil (it only has 126.000 km) it's not severe but still noticeable. The little plastic things that hold the headlights in place are both broken and most other N16 have the same problem. I sometimes have problems getting it into 5th gear and reverse (a new gearbox was put in in 2009), most likely just a clutch problem (i know 1.5 manual N16 have gearbox problems, reverse gear blew out in my other N16)
