Which of these mainstream car mags do you subscribe to?

ward · 07-19-2006, 10:27 AM

automobile is junk

I subscribe to all but automobile, you get a lot of repeated articles between the major players.

whippersnapper · 07-19-2006, 10:29 AM

I don't really think much of any of the US mags. The ones for me are CAR and EVO

ZuerstBMW · 07-19-2006, 10:30 AM

I actually have a subcription to all of these. I guess I like cars ALOT.

KL2DC · 07-19-2006, 10:43 AM

I have a subscription to all above. Agreed they are not as good as the UK publications (I buy occasionally) but at $10-12 per year each, they make decent throne reading

Where's Roundel?

should be under 'none of the above'

whippersnapper · 07-19-2006, 11:04 AM

wouldn't roundel be filed under propoganda?

StewtheBassman · 07-19-2006, 11:10 AM

None of the above. I buy mags based on what tests they run, but all the info is usually available on their websites soon after publication.

My favorite of all the above is Car and Driver, I like their sense of humour and the fact that they are based in a winter zone.

Bimmer Mag is also in none of the above, and I don't respect them much anymore....too many tuner Bimmers, and their long-term test of the E90 is a joke.

bavarian19 · 07-19-2006, 11:33 AM

I signed up through something online like mags for less... They had a special where it was pretty much three for one...

car and driver
road and track
motortrend

the deal they had going on was a year subscription for like $15... cant complain...

... and yes I get roundel too...

longtran · 07-19-2006, 11:55 AM

where's eurotuner?

Sedan_Clan · 07-20-2006, 10:54 AM

Motor Trend.

larryn · 07-20-2006, 12:39 PM

All of those, plus BMW Magazine, Roundel, European Car, and Bimmer

(edit) Added European Car

ALPINE6SPD · 07-20-2006, 12:43 PM

I get all except for autoweek plus Roundel and european car.

Stronie · 07-20-2006, 12:47 PM

Exactly those are the same ones I subscribe to. Bimmer is my favorite 3.4L M3
