Keep on top of the new car market...

Advantages: Updated all the time
Disadvantages: £3.90 a copy

...am sure you have noticed Car magazine on the shelves. Living in England means there are plenty of choices as what one reads about Cars. One noticed that this months issue has a new revamped buyers guide. So I decided it was a good time to take a look as it is some time since I last read a copy. I noticed on the cover 31 roadsters are to be tested and excellent time to get up to date on the dream car market . I know you must be laughing dream cars ...

The contents page confirms it Aston Martin, Bently, BMW, Ferrari, Lambourghini, Morgan, Rolls Roycw all the big hitters in the dream car world but also Ford Focus, and Vauxhall Astra! The most expensive a 218.39mph Maybach Insane a very expensive machine that can not be bought it is some years to go before it is offered to the most fasionable end of the market with a car harking back ...

A True Magazine for Car Enthusiasts

Advantages: Photography, Well Written, Accurate
Disadvantages: Reviews Somtimes a bit Similar

Car magazine is one of the UK's most respectable 'car' magazines. The magazine follows a similar if not identical format to all the other car and bike magazines on sale, but Car magazine excels in its photography. The front cover of the magazine is always eye catching and inside the editors always seem to try to use their own pictures rather than those supplied by manufactures. The magazine is very well written although its fair to say some of the ...
...found in Top Gear magazine. Car is a more serious consumer magazine and has won many awards for it's in depth features and news stories. As with all monthly publications it suffers from being behind on the breaking news stories that you'll find in weekly magazines such as Autocar, but the news content is always detailed, accurate and often takes a different approach to other publications. Car is very much a sports car orientated magazine, and although ...

Quality of photography

Probably the best car magazine around

Advantages: Professional in every way
Disadvantages: Price?

I find CAR magazine to be one of the most professional publications out there. With years of experience behind them and writers with plenty of knowledge in their area. For example Gordon Murray from Formula One car Design fame! All of the articles cover the whole subject; there is generally no bias towards any type of vehicle that is reviewed, which I feel is vey important. The only time you will find bias is when the vehicle is exceptional. Take ...
...then new Nissan Skyline R34. CAR magazine described it as the best all-round supercar in the world. The photography in the magazine is always very professional and atmospheric to give a perfect view of the car. Basically CAR magazine is, in my opinion, the best car magazine out there with the best reviews of every-day cars and out of the ordinary cars. ...

Quality of photography

Vroom, Vrooom,

Advantages: V. Good Photography
Disadvantages: Naff reviews and news

Car was once the most established, and respected, of the motoring mags. Unfortunately, it has gone downhill. While the photography and general design of the mag. is excellent - there doesn't seem to be anything worth reading in it anymore. It has some quite good columnists, and some nice cover storys - but the reviews are all the same, and the news section doesn't compare to AutoExpress or most other mags. You also feel a bit cheated when you pay ...

A real car mag for Real car enthusiasts

Advantages: Quality content, mature reviews, excellent photography
Disadvantages: Not much

Car magazine is without doubt one of the best on sale.The layout is good, the articles usually unbiased,well written and informative,and the photography is nothing short of exceptional. On the whole the articles are really well written in a mature, well rounded fashion,and they always guarantee a good read.If you want to know what I mean by mature, just check out Revs or Max Power, and you'll know just what I mean. There is a good mix of road tests,motorsport,and ...
...£3.50, but my last copy had 210 pages, surely good value for money. Granted there are quite a lot of adverts,but these in themselves make good reading. There aren't many better mags for real car enthusuasts, and I can't think of a better way to spend £3.50. Excellent mag! ...

A breath of fresh air

Advantages: In-depth analyses, photography, amount of content
Disadvantages: Cost?

...was a bit of a car nut and regularly bought a selection of the monthly car magazines that were on sale. However, I had not bought Car magazine for about five years until recently. I was genuinely impressed. In a genre which has become increasingly 'trashy', here was a magazine with intelligently written and beautifully photographed articles. I felt that, although it costs over three pounds, this was genuinely worth the money. The news section is ...
...the car actuqlly looks like. The articles are engrossing, in-depth and well-written, I even find myself re-reading parts of the magazine. In contrast to other monthly car magazines this one doesn't get tossed aside after a day or two: there is a lot of material in here, not just adverts. ...

Car Magazine - The Best

Advantages: Consistent, a good read
Disadvantages: Not enough about rallying

...been an avid devotee of car magazines for over 20 years including a span when i collected magazines that were older than me. What has not changed has been the consistency of CAR. The range of features and articles is almost always good, the tests are informative and the fact sheets are almost up to date. I particularly like the columists who give a balanced view of the world, Alexi Sayle is fantastic and i do miss Rowan Atkinson. It has been very ...

Car Magazine... Hmmm

Advantages: Photography, `First` Stories, Other Content
Disadvantages: £3.90 Price!, Layout, Some Content

...is boring. As with other car magazines, it starts with a overview of new cars that have been revealed etc. The auto biography section features on someone important in the world of cars (like Ferrari F1s Fuel Chemist Dr Lisa Lilley...anyone know that?) First Drive Section is all right but the layout is quite cack handed and mesy. Photography is still good though. The tests they run may be the best part of the whole book. They go through every ...
...stories about a certain car and the best buys of the month, also the Long Term Fleet isnt as good as Top Gear but still acceptable. Some people may like it, some people wont. This is a very split magazine on likeability. My Opinion... Buy Test Drive or Top Gear ...
