Default Re: Which Magazine?

I voted Automobile. I have subscriptions to all of them (I'm letting Motor Trend lapse, though) and Automobile is the one I really get exicted about when a new issue arrives.

Well written articles, far less interest in just plain old numbers and more in the actual driving of the car. I get soooo tired of letters to editors of other magazines where a reader is personally offended that the car with lower "numbers" was given the nod over another with better "numbers". Far too often these people actually say the other car was "clearly the better car since the numbers were better". Automobile seems to do a great job conveying what the drive is like, not whether one car is a tenth quicker in the 1/4 mile, 0.02mph faster in the slalom or stops a foot quicker. Numbers are NOT what makes a car great or enjoyable, how it feels when you're putting it through the motions is.
