Getting out of the four wheelin'n scene and would like to get one (1) general car magazine. Please share your thoughts on the pros and cons of the following. If there are other alternatives, lets hear them too. Thanks.

Car & Driver
Motor Trend
Road & Track
Other?

 

European car.

Those that you posted, i just read them online.

 

I've got a subscription to AutoWeek, great mag. It's a weekly mag, so most of the stuff you see & read in there, you won't see in the monthly mags until a few weeks later.

Car & Driver is pretty good too.

 

I get C&D, MT and R&T.....In order of what I like the most...

 

we get autoweek, motor trend, christophorus, excellence.

 

I get C&D, MT and R&T...

Here is my preference: C&D > MT > R&T.

I'd recommend trying C&D first

 

I think C&D is the best written, I think MT is poorly laid out, I tried to read an issue and felt dizzy. Didn't like it at all.

 

Robb Report for all you true ballers out there

 

i get all three as well....c&d's bias and bitching is wearing on me, but i used to like them best....

mt changes its layout and editor every month it seems...r&t has always been solid...

my gf got me the one thing i asked for this xmas, and that was a subscription to EVO mag....

I LOVE EVO!!! i suggest that as well

 

Autoweek

 

I do like Autoweek, and EVO.

 

I purchased a C&D while I was on a business trip earlier this year and I thought it was okay. I'll have to check out some of the other suggestions. Not familiar with them. Thanks and keep the votes & responses coming.

 

I really like C&D

i bought MT a few months ago and it had a section "whats in my cd player" for the editor, and his top choice was the new U2 describing it as "rockin" and matchbox 20

that was the last time i bought MT hehe

 

Since MotorTrend is lowering their subscription rate to 12 dollar a year, I ordered it. I wouldn't mind subrscribing to C&D though.

 

It hasn't been getting delivered lately.


Its car related!!!!

 

Past subscriber to Road and Track, Car and Driver
Present subscriber to Automobile

I personally like Automobile much better that the others...

 

As of late, it seems to me that Car & Driver and Road & Track seem to use cars from the same pool.

I'm now more into Motor Trend, although they dont publish top speeds: something that satisfies my curiousity.

 

C&D > *

MT was good 7-10 years ago.

I have every MT, C&D and R&T since Oct 1993.

 

Car and driver...

Motor Trend has no objective opinions about ANYTHING and I just never liked road and track...

I got a free subscription to Autoweek from Mazda RevItUp last year and ended up renewing cuz its a good mag and it helps me with my withdrawl symptoms when I'm waiting for my next C&D

 

But I usually buy FHM or Maxim for that fix

 

Calling Dan "The Hammer" Martin..............

 

C&D gets my vote just for actually putting cars in order (aka picking a winner). MT is getting better about that but they just won't pick a clear winner in almost all their reviews.

Plus I love that C&D puts in a 5-60 mph test. Most realistic test of cars speed.

R&T just sucks. Half the f-ing magazine is spent on F1 racing and crap. Hate the Track portion of that magazine
