I subscribe to Car and Driver, at least for the time being. If it isn't built by Honda or have a Hemi, they hate it. I was totally shocked they actually picked the Mustang over the GTO. In the latest issue the Explorer placed last in their comparo...why??? Because they didn't link the trim inserts.....

I think the magazine is owned by Honda. I highly doubt I renew.

They are all so darn biased. Same thing with consumer reports. They raved and raved about the 98 Honda Accord. Well my mother bought a brand new one and at 32k she was having tranny issues. Just goes to show the biased behavior towards foreign auto makers. If they like em that much just go move over there where you can get em cheaper. (you can tell my frustration and anger towards these "car reviewers".

You say Consumer Reports had it wrong about that year Accord, based on one single incident? I honestly can't think of a single person telling me they didn't like their Honda because of reliability issues. Some cars are just lemons, but since you only mention transmission issues, it sounds like that one wasn't either.

I subscribe to Automobile, Road & Track, and Car and Driver. I'm thinking of dropping either Automobile or R&T, since I can't read them all, but I'm not sure.

I used to get Motor Trend, and got sick of it.

AutoWeek is my favorite; subscription is pretty cheap, and also good racing coverage every week. Hemmings Muscle Machines and Hot Rod are both really good, but both are mostly niche magazines; depends where your interests lay, I guess.

I'm gonna let my Car & Driver subscription, because Brock Yates is a rich blowhard who drives a Hummer, yet claims in his own words to be one of "the Wal-Mart people".

MT, C&D and R&T are all pretty similar to me, and mostly seem to cover stuff I either can't afford, or wouldn't be caught dead in.

What aspect of car ownership are you into? If you like modifying your vehicle, MM&FF is going to give you the the most information, but they bias their information toward drag racing. Don't get me wrong, they do articles on suspension mods too, but they mostly like the 1320. If you want info on roadracing, I like Grassroots Motorsports....and they also do articles on modifications.

As for the big mags, I like Car and Driver. Just my $.02.

I have subscribed to Car and Driver for the last five years and I love it. The highlight of my month is when I get my new edition! I definently reccomend it over motor trend (IMO), and then of course some type of mustang publication.
