I do a ton of traveling, need lots of reading material, besides road and track, car and driver what are your favorite car mags????

[BMWally]

What's wrong with you? Why don't you have Roundel? J/k!

[timzerofive]

I rarely read these anymore, but if you want to view some "pimp-my-ride" cars and some hot young girls in skimpy outfits, you can get those import mags (import tuner, turbo ...etc). There are a few BMW magazines out there that might good to read.

For non-BMW specific reading I find the British publications leagues above the very best of american publications editorially and in their photos...like Evo magazine BUT they are pricey.

For a good cheap read, I quite enjoy mph magazine albeit its not a serious car magazine (I say witty)...thinking FHM meet Car&Driver.

I like Playboy

[NaTuReB0Y]

I subscribe to:
Road and Track
Automobile
Motor Trend
Car and Driver
MPH
Import Tuner
EuroTuner
Sport Compact

and other stuff like.....STUFF, MAXIM, SI, TV GUIDE, FHM, PB....etc.

Best car mags are the ones w/ no bulls*it journalism, such as Sports Car International, Bimmer, CAR(UK pub), Autocar, EVO, and all other brit/Euro car mags if you can read any of the european languages. Sport Auto is good if you can read German as well as Autobild.

Autoweek is good because it's hardly ever outdated info since it is weekly.

[c5driver951]

Excellence for Porsche and Bimmer for BMW are usually well written and interesting.

isn't that the case for every auto mag????

[noflash]

Bimmer and Roundel are my fav.

I also like Wired.

[ward]

if anyone says automobile mag is good I'll pee on them

[KL2DC]

Motor Trend has gotten better...nice photography. Iirc they have a new editor from across the pond or something like that....I subscribe to too many magazines (much to my wife's nagging)

[england1987]

Topgear magazine, hands down. if you can get it that is.

you know that to some people this wouldn't be a threat, rather an exciting proposition...

[hotsand5]

I just subscribed to BMWCCA, so I should be getting my issue of Roundel soon, but I also have been subscribing to motor trend for about 10 years, and Eurotuner and European Car for about 4 yrs. Great magazines.

[dom1]

I'm subscribed to Road & Track and can't wait for the subscription to be over. In my opinion, they spend too much time talking about car races, than the actual cars that we can purchase. Plus their 0-60 numbers are total crap. I think I will subscribe to Car & Driver the next time around.

[Flyingfart]

Import Tuner all the way baby

MT's editor is an Aussie who used to edit CAR (UK), which was once IMO the best car mag out there. CAR has gone crap under new editor Jason Balow (ex-Top Gear) and I agree MT has gotten slightly better. I still wouldn't bother with US mags though.

I only buy EVO now, and sometimes look at the pics/figures in AMS from Germany (local periodical specialist carries). Other German mags are boring as well.

Barlow does suck, I really have to agree on this one. He's way over the top in his reviews w/ his criticisms. I feel like I've read a complaint from a customer rather than a genuine auto review when I read his work.The photography is bar none though. I think Autocar is the best, just sucks that they don't do a monthly issue(gets expensive once a week).
