I used a treatment called Lanoguard, it's really easy to apply although they recommend doing it every year. It's worth looking it up, interesting stuff!
I haven't heard much about rust on the CR-V but I can tell you I was shocked at the amount under mine which is only 6 years old! I'm guessing it's because it spent most of its time in Scotland but it still surprised me. I've since given it a rust treatment, the body though is immaculate. I think the important issue is good service history and good MOT history. I see many older CR-V's and they still look in amazing condition.
This is true, and the Lexus forums I know are buzzing.
The more posts on here would rank the site higher in Google searches so I guess with more posts the site would be more 'viewable' to the masses.
I still maintain that forums are still the way forwards as social media is very transient, the info is there one day and gone the next 😞
Unfortunately, florin_cars is correct.
A lot of people tend to use Facebook as it is easier and more accessible than maybe logging into a forum.
However, the level of response in a forum is usually likely to be more reliable and accurate than FB along with moderated comments.
The forums rely on members signing up and also assisting with other members' issues with their cars otherwise the posts tend to go unanswered (for a few days at least).
