Best car magazine...

[boxedin]

Fast Bikes, ah, remember these... heh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8eKZczh7Ms

Oh, cars?

Autosport used to be interesting... TBH most motorsport event programmes are a better read than most magazines.

Or just print out http://www.petrolicious.com.

I have a subscription to Top Gear, quite like it, slightly strange this month with Clarkson gone and the little editorial tweaks they've had to do as a result.

Hot car,
Chrome and flames,
Custom car,
You're classic,
Fast car,
Not that often I buy mags these days tbh

Autocar in the 90's/early 00's was just glorious - loved the Harris/Sutcliffe article re: Focus RS/Murcielago drive through Europe. Now, it just feels so mainstream.

+1.

I also was a regular reader from the late 80's through to the mid 90's.

Whilst in the newsagent today I picked up the latest Autocar, primarily because it's got a take on the 2025 Ford Capri. It's the first time I've looked at a copy in the best part of 10 years. My first impression was that half the magazine was missing as it was so thin. It ran to about 80 pages. Whereas it used to be almost double that. Having flicked through it I decided not to bother, as apart from the Capri article, there was not much else of interest (too me).

My magazine of choice is now Practical Classics

Auto Italia for me, always something interesting or unusual to read about.

Absolutely no bias there at all.

That photographer chap for AI ain't bad either is he!

[Alfahorn]

Had a subscription to Auto Italia since 2003 and thoroughly enjoy it.

Over the last year or two I've also subscribed to Car, however with my main passion being all things Italian it's just not really relevant to me (or at least not very often!).

MotorSport - I've picked up a few copies here and there and it is a mighty impressive periodical. I like the content, the variety and the lay out. It's informative , well written and contains some fantastic pictures as well. I'm tempted to replace Car with MotorSport as a result.

Car, EVO on the odd occasion there is something of interest to me in it, and the usual ford/vw mags from time to time

[neutral 3]

The original Fast Car from 1973, any 1950s, 60s, 70s Motor Sport.

I usually pick up PPC and Retro Car magazines. I used to get Performance BMW but they rarely have anything in their that I like nowadays. Maybe it's my age? I also get Evo occasionally but it's all a bit modern and expensive for me.

I used to prefer TOTAL BMW mag until it finished

Fast Lane.

Yeah, been a while since I bought a car mag...

[battered]

I used to buy a car mag every month, sometimes 2. These days it's 2 a year. PPC is the one of choice, when I can get it. The oilier classic car mags get my vote too. I'm not interested in the "dreamer" classic car mags with the "we track down the original 1961 Earl's Court Motor Show E type" and I have no idea how anyone can read Evo. I got one free some while ago, I forget how, and I didn't even finish reading it before it went in the bin. This is a man who used to have hundreds of car mags, still has a few dozen, and I didn't even put the thing on the bookcase.

I'd no more read Evo than I would Cosmopolitan or Knitting World.

At 2 car shows I've attended this year,Motorsport were selling copies of their current issue for £1.

That was £2 well spent.

A very good magazine.

At the last two events I've been to I've purchased the latest issue for £1 and been given a free back issue.

You've been robbed!

Subscribed to CAR and buy the occasional Evo mag if the front cover is pretty.

[Bradgate]

I was an Autocar subscriber until recently, but I got fed up with all the personnel changes, particularly Sutcliffe's departure, and the fact that the magazine now appears to be published by JLR's PR department.

And Nic Cackett really is Troy Queef.

[RDMcG]

Motor Sport and Octane for me...they cover completely different things typically. Then, as a Porsche fan, Total 911.

[corozin]

Photographically EVO is still the best presented in my view
But if you are interested in the words, Car, Motorsport and Racecar Engineering are (for me) the best reads.

Agreed.
