I'm looking more toward the mainstream mags, not ricer or performance mags.

Thanks!

Motor Trend is definitely the cheapest subscription.. $10 for one year or $18 for two years.. and they seem to post the fastest times for Acura's out of all the major car mags.

I get Car and Driver,Motor Trend and Autoweek.I used to prefer Car and Driver,but i think Motor Trend is my fave now,and as someone previously said the price is right.Get both for about $20 a year,about 80 cents per issue,and you too can be a mag racer!

Magazines are for wimps and bench racing. Real cars are for testing and breaking. I don't read magazines.

Lots of cars

Car and Driver and MotorTrend

Automobile is so boring, they never give any concrete data. Actually I think I remember reading that they just take the manufacturers data and reprint it. They don't even test the cars.

Road and track is only for those that like Race Car's (indy, etc). Half that damn magazine is about racing now. More Road, less track needed.

I get Motor Trend and Raod & Track. Motor Trend has some good stuff. R&T is getting better, but I usually get MT a couple days before and R&T has same stuff. I also don't like the track part of R&T. Dupont Registry is also pretty cool, just to dream about some tight ass,expensive cars.

1. Car & Driver (just because)
2. Motor Trend (worth the money)
3. Automobile (nice pictures, best article layout out of these 3, IMO)
