Auto Trader is one of the most pointless magazines ever. It isn't that good and there are loads of people selling rubbish cars for twice the price you should. It is also a really expensive ripoff. £3.25 for a magazine which just shows how many people are trying tp con you.
The photography is appalling, with the odd exception, but mainly it is rubbish with even some cars with the wrong picture on the ad. The content isn't that good and there are so many short cuts like ew (electric windows) and other ones you've neer heard of before that you need a car terms dictionary to find what they all mean.
I would say don't buy this; shop around at your local garage or go on auto trader's website which is much better (www.autotrader.co.uk).
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
Sorry for the lower rating but more info would be helpful for people who may not know about Auto Trader. i.e what categories do they have within the mag. I know they sell bikes and caravans as well :-)

Could have done with a lot more information on the magazine itself, seen as it isn't their fault people sell their cars for 3 times more than they are worth!!
Advantages: Well established, popular magazine for those buying & selling cars Disadvantages: Expensive to advertise in, used as LEAD FODDER by every canvasser in town
