Best Porsche magazine?
Discussion
I think 911 & Porsche World is the best all round. I used to subscribe to GT Purely Porsche and I still buy the occasional copy, but they seem to get a bit short of ideas and then fall back on writing about whatever Specialist Cars of Malton will lend them. As for Total 911 I bought the issue 61 (because they had the 964RS Touring in it) and then had the 3 issues for a £1 offer
but then cancelled as I didn't think they had much to offer.
Perhaps you could try them all on the 3 issues for a £1 deal(if its on) and see which one you like the best.

EVO. ;-)
tbh they tend to get the latest Porsche info and drives a month before the dedicated mags!
Subscribed to 911& Porsche world for years but it got too repetitive! Buy one every now and again to realise I'd wasted my money again!
I must agree that EVO is my all round favourite. Maybe I will just keep buying the occasional copy of a selection of titles whenever the mood takes me.........tbh they tend to get the latest Porsche info and drives a month before the dedicated mags!

Magazines that cater for one marque only are pretty tedious IMPO. I buy them if they if they have something in particular that i want to read. Otherwise I just have a flick through in W H Smiths! 
Agreed. They constantly repeat themselves and every article assumes you are a first time reader. When the new RS came out every article droned on about the original 73 for half a page - sometimes more than once in the same issue.I only buy if there is a particularly interesting piece on a historical model.
Evo is practically a Porsche mag now esp since Harris is on the payroll, not that I'm complaining... Evo has the best writing for driving enthusiasts by a mile.

Subscribed to Total 911 but years ago was a running reporter for 911 Porsche World both very good mags. Depends On what they are reporting on. Total 911 is particularly good on in depth. Historical Porsche items. 
I was one as well running reporter for T911 However they are only after certain cars. You send in bits and maybe they get printed but tell you nothing.No replies to emails either .
I buy CLASSIC PORSCHE now, which suits my needs as I own a 80's Porsche.
Its a very good mag shame its not out every month.
Johnny how's it going mate,
that machine of yours still keeping you on your toes I take it?! The yellow perils in for new shocks & springs next month (just in time for the December lake district run), though don't ask me why?!?
As for christopherous mag like the digital content this month-shame they couldn't have got walter translated!

After a short dry patch EVO is back to its former glory. Ive bought almost every copy since it's launch and its probably the only mag which talks my language about car's. If there is a better mag out there for Porsche I have not found it yet.
I still remember reading the article with the speed yellow 996 mk2 GT3 in it, this article in particular got me interested in Porsche's.
All the Porsche exclusive mags are a bit pants and not really for the under-40's, one po-faced mag in particular keeps droning on about air-cooled models at every possible opportunity.
I buy all three - and Flat 6 when in France - but they are all a bit samey and I now only ever hang on to the editions with GT3 articles in them. If you can afford to run a 911, you can afford £15.00 a month on mags which end up in the bin..............
Also buy Evo, which has improved again, and Car, which is getting weird again. Throroughly enjoying MotorSport these days so I must be getting old. Octnae seems to be for people with more money than sense at the moment but, hey, what do I know.
And ocassional forays into the classic mags which all seem a bit shallow too now.
But the Spectator continues to be good, if light on 911 articles.

Nothing really wrong with that

Its not about being able to afford them - Its about quality of content and value for money. Apart from the odd piece they are not really up to scratch. Writing quality is generally poor and VERY repetitive.
