What car magz do you read/ your favorites....

What car mags do you read and which are your favorite?


I read: Car, Road&Track, Car&Driver, MotorTrend, Automobile, AutoWeek, duPont Registry (more of an ad mag but I still like looking at the hot cars on sale), BMW Magazine, Acura Magazine

My favorite is Car, R&T, Automobile, MotorTrend, and C&D

BTW does anyone else read Car? I think it's European based, its like a 9$ mag in the US, and its slogan is "the world's best car magazine."

Here's the site: http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/nav?page=car

Road&Track, Car&Driver, MotorTrend, duPont Registry, since my next car is going to be a BMW i really need to start reading that magazine a lot more.

Also, Sport Truck, Truckin', Street Trucks.

Car and Driver, Road and Track, Driver, and autoweek. i think road and track is probably my fav. Autoweek's good too and has awesome cassified/personal ads, but since it comes weekly sometimes there isn't muchnew content per issue.

Sport Compact Car exclusively. I find that most of the others are garbage, filled with ads and topped off with bullshit.

None. I used to read every fucking car mag under the sun, but they start repeating themselves ad infinitum after a while and it gets stale.

I'm only subscribed to MotorTrend and Car&Driver - both decently good mags IMO, but remember I'm still in high school so I'm runnin a tight budget here

I'm subscribed to Automobile, and I love Car, but I only read it in the store, I'm not shelling out the nine bucks or whatever it is

I subscribe to Sport Compact Car and I buy/read Modified, HCI, Super Street, Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords, 5.0 Mustang, Hot Rod, Car Craft, Truckin', Petersons 4X4 Off Road. I've bought a few others once (Turbo, Import Tuner) and found them to suck spectacularly.

Evo.


Nothing else comes close.



Edit: as for CAR magazine being the best in the world... you occasionally come across articles criticising a supercar's ride etc...
When it comes to reviewing performance cars they are so off the mark in terms of what they look for...
