A high octane feast of EVOness

Advantages: Good quality writing and amazing photography
Disadvantages: Once a month is not enough

...a few other Opinions on EVO and so felt compelled to write one of my own. I have been a car fanatic for as long as I can remember and have tried reading most of the other motoring magazines at one time or another. Top Gear, Auto Express, Performance Car I have even went through a phase of reading Max Power! These were all entertaining enough, but there always seemed to be something missing. This is where EVO comes in. I first read EVO a couple ...
...see myself getting tired of EVO and have been a subscriber ever since my first issue. So what exactly is EVO I hear you cry, well let me enlighten you. EVO is a monthly car magazine who's tagline is "The thrill of Driving". The magazine comes out monthly and costs £3.60 per issue. This may seem quite expensive for a magazine, but believe me it is worth every penny. As with most magazines the cost is reduced substantially when you subscribe. If ...

A pure joy to read - highly recommended

Advantages: High Production values, great writing, superb photography, great content
Disadvantages: ........!

...pumping. The difference with EVO that sets it apart from other magazines is that it is oozing with style in all aspects, with some of the most evocative (perhaps where the name comes from) writing I have ever read. The whole publication is polished and professional, and despite the subject matter of having fun while driving, is never irresponsible and never promotes anti-social behaviour. The magazine covers the most desirable and exclusive cars ...
...these (extremely) lucky guys not only get to drive these cars, but they get to really test them to the limit and then write about them. But, although for 99.9% of us out there these cars are pure fantasy, a great deal of the magazine's content covers cars that are indeed tangible for a lot of people. I have the September 2007 issue in front of me now, and they have features on such a diverse range of cars from the £9,995 Renault Twingo GT, up to ...

The best motoring mag around

Advantages: Wonderful magazine
Disadvantages: I can't afford a new car

...Evo. I have read Evo from issue one and have been a subscriber for a couple of years now. This is the best magazine for performance cars. It doesn’t focus on how big the boot is, or how much room there is in the back. Evo focuses on how a car is to drive. The articles are among the best I've ever read and they really can send a tingle down the spine at times. A recent issue focused on supercars and it was one of the most amazing pieces of journalism ...

Evo, a way of life

Advantages: Everything you could wish for in a read
Disadvantages: You can only dream of owning most of the cars featured

Evo magazine is faultless, the writing is genious involving you in every article dropping you into the driving seat of that car. It is an escapist magazine for most giving you an almost first hand experience of the feel, sound, and attitude of these cars. Subscription If you join as a member to their website before the 25th June, then you can get the first three issuses for £3, going onto £18.20 for 6 issues. I have only just subscribed for the ...
...on to subscribe. The cars The cars featured range from practical, but insanely fast saloon's such as the m5 to stripped out road racers such as an Ultima GTR, which I must say I have fallen in love with since I read about it in Evo. There are regular group tests such as the best "drivers" car for under £20,000, buyers guides and road tests on any car you've ever wished to know more about. The presentation Not only is the writing almost cinematic, ...

The essential read for petrolheads

Advantages: Great writing and photography, the best out there
Disadvantages: Errrrmmmmm......

...the best one around. Evo is primarily aimed at the driving enthusiast. It won't tell you which supermini is best for the supermarket run, or how to ruin a perfectly good car by adding tacky spoilers, bodykits and wheels. Evo is all about performance cars and the thrill of driving. The quality of writing in Evo is second to none. The only other car magazine that even comes close in that department is Car. It's clear from every article in Evo that ...
...accompany the superb articles. At nearly 4 quid an issue, the magazine is hardly cheap, but it's more than worth it. You get more quality from Evo than most of the lesser magazines put together. Purchase just one issue and you'll be hooked, such is the quality. ...

Evo review

Advantages: Great writing and photograph, let's you dream!
Disadvantages: None!

...and want to appear knowledgable. Evo is the magazine that the true petrolheads read. It combines mouthwatering photography with excellent writing that really give you a feel for what the car is like to drive. Of particular note, Evo give very few review of 'normal' cars, instead they focus almost solely on supercars. This is great, as, let's face, we don't really want to read about the new Toyota Aygo - we really want to read about the Ferrari F430 ...
...'long termers'. With this section, Evo is given a car by a manufacturer (or, with some of the more exotic metal, contributors write the article about their own cars) for a period of 6 months to a year. It lets one know what the car is like to own and live with. Notable long termers include the new Audi RS6, a Lambo Murcielago LP640, and a Porsche Carrera GT. Reading this just lets me dream about owning one of these cars... ...

Petrolhead pornography

Advantages: Great writing, car models covered
Disadvantages: Can't afford a new car

...team that wrote Performance Car, Evo is a well written, intelligent look at the cars most petrolheads will never get to drive. Some people say that is a disadvantage, but if its a buyers guide you're after, then buy What Car. Evo lets you dip into what it would be like to have enough money to be able to afford any car on the planet. As well as covering exotica it also focusses on the hot hatch market, as well as everything in between and reviews, ...
...do if they had the keys to their dream car for a day. The magazine also looks at track day cars, motorsport, 2nd hand purchasing, long term ownership as well as Top Trump type facts for stat fans. The insurance ads section has given me personally huge savings on my annual premium renewals. ...

Evo - Quality

Advantages: Quality Reviews/Pictures and Cars
Disadvantages: Bit Pricey

Evo is a car magazine dedicated to cars that have what they call "Evoness" this sort of means that the car is very desirable. So if you are into your dream motors or have a heavily filled wallet with a passion for cars then this is for you. I have read all the usauals: Autocar, TopGear and Auto Express, but nothing comes close to this magazine. The reviews ooze passion and you can tell that they know what they are talking about. It is almost poetic ...
