What essentially happens to a lot of daily driver cars is people fill them with salt driving on the winter roads then allow corrosion to accelerate by heating it up in their garages.

That being said, the car is relatively new still and shouldn't have any significant corrosion for many years to come, even if kept in the garage.

1. Do it. It's worth it.

2. Former Alaskan here, believe me, metal will rust just fine below freezing. You are correct though, in that many freeze-thaw cycles will get salt, water vapor, and liquid water into the damndest places, and corrosion will significantly accelerate.
