Which Car Magazine?

Which car magazine do you think gives the best readability, best reviews and layout. Also doesn't cater to the "rich and famous" showing mostly cars that most of us could never have.

Do you chaps get EVO magazine in the states?

It's without doubt the best performance car magazine in the UK...The photography is simply sublime!

I'm guessing that Sportscar International, Automobile, etc. are a bit too high-price-oriented for what you're asking about.

I voted C&D. I've been enjoying it for over 30 years, so that must indicate a pretty broad range of appeal (my interests in cars have changed a lot over the years).

Yeah, Autoweek is good too, and Sports & Classic Car and some of the other Brit mags are really down to earth, if a bit Euro-centric.

SCC (Sport Compact Car) has me reading intently, mixed with bursts of laughter. It's a bit corny sometimes, but the mix of great technical jargon and everyday BS'ing keeps me coming back.
Of course, I read all those other monthly's as well.

I currectly subscribe to two "Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords" as well as "5.0 Mustang and Super Fords". I need to renew my subscription to Mustang Enthusiast. You mean there are cars out there other than the Mustang

Most of the rags like Motor Trend or Car and Driver tend to have their biases. I find myself getting darn right mad at them and have subscribed and unsubscribed so many times I just watch them on TV now rather than pay for the magazine.

Motor Trend for me. I used to read Car and Driver but after my subscription expired they offered me a renewal at a much higher rate than what was available to others. Switched to MT and have been with them for quite a few years now. Generally they cover almost the same cars but I actually like the style of MT better - just my opinion.

In the past I've also tried Roundell, SCC and something tuner related but don't have the time nor money for that any more.

Motor Trend, hands down, the others have too much auto cross and racing crap. Just test cars and trucks and report on your findings please.
