I buy Car, Top Gear an PBMW every month. I try to get Evo as well but its not
always in the shops. I would buy Total BMW and BMW car as well if I see them. The M3 sham that Car had did annoy me but I'll forgice them. Still love the mag and I'm glad it's different from Top Gear because they had become very similar. I think Evo has now become the best read for really making you feel like you're there. I might subscrfibe to it to make sure I can get it. Edited by flyingalexf68 |

I'm sort of like that myself, you see the latest issue on the shelf and you can't control yourself! It's an addiction  |

Just my 2 penneth's worth!
Subscribed to Top Gear for quite a few years now - it's a laugh (I don't buy it, or watch it for the car reviews!) - and what am I now going to do on a Sunday evening at 8pm!  Whenever I see a BM mag in the News Agents I get it (well I have a quick look through it first to make sure it's not full of ads!) - quite rare nowadays |

Total BMW as they did a feature on my car back in 02 Practical Classics although it does become boring reding about more Mg's and more Morris Minors. Always a good laugh when the likes of the Allegro owners club write in!!! |

Yea I do that myself actually, CAR have a load of sh*te in their magazine lately and I always flick through it before I buy it. 7.45 is quite expensive I think, but it's still better in every way than Top Gear imo. |

I have subscirbed to Practical Classics for a few years now, even got a letter published! But mainly i would buy PBMW or Total BMW on a monthly basis, have gone off Top Gear gradually but as fingerman has said it is purely for entertainment so i do buy it every now and then. More religiously though is the auto trader every single thursday at around 8am and the buy and sell on a wednesday and a saturday morning!! |

EVO, I have subscribed for about 5 years and It is the only magazine I get regularly. I might buy a Total BMW once a year if something really catches my eye or I'm in the market for a new car.

Classic and Sports car, because of the exotic stuff. (Reading about Lamborghini Miuras and Aston V8 Zagatos is as close as you're likely to get to seeing them on the road!)
Practical Classics and Classic Car are good too. (Maybe I need to get myself a rusty old nail?) Used to read CAR but hated the facelift. EVO (to replace CAR) most months - when the long termers range from Renault Clio to Pagani Zonda you have to appreciate the scale! |

Agreed, IMO the facelift makes the magazine look very bland, it looks more like a women's mag than a car mag |

I'm an Autocar subscriber as my dad was a Motor subscriber for as long as I remember. I used to read his Motor as a kid, now he reads my Autocar.
I don't think it is what it once was, but I guess that is commercial pressures. Still provides up to date news though. Less said about the Best Winter Car type coverage the better. Also but EVO Steve |

"Evo" every month without fail and "Practical performance car" most months and one or two of the BMW mags or classic car mags if there is anything of interest. Have every issue of top gear up to last year when i failed to see the reason to keep buying it.. Mainstream mags do not interest me as i have no interest in reading about mpv's or the like..

Practical Classics (subscription, as can't get it out here) others if I see something interesting. It gets expensive otherwise as they are from 6.5 to 7 quid, and that's with a strong pound. Couple of bike mags as well (Bike/Classic Bike)

just to join the club - EVO, it really is the best, long time subsciber, its so much easier that way. you opay for it once then get 11 more presents in the post!! Car and Top Gear just annoy the pants off me if I pick one up, usually for a flight as its all they ever have - first thing to do if buying TG for a flight is rip out the entire stats junk at the back - fits in your laptop bag much eaasier that way Total BMW as the cars are more my end of the market... for now And MotorSport for my historic racing needs Edited by green-blood |

I picked up this month's EVO in Eason's the opther day and I must say I was impressed, the road tests have way more depth than the likes of CAR or TopGear. I've finally decided I'm goin to change over to EVO

Evo on subscription and buy the occasional issue of Autocar, Top Gear and Practical Classics never rated Auto Express, not enough depth and too much on new cars single-marque magazines aren't varied enough so i haven't bought any in a long time (unless theres a relevant artice in it, like buyers guides or reviews of cars i own)

It's EVO for me. Much better articles, and less rubbish. I've also bought tbmw from time to time but alot of the time it is just for one or two articles and is expensive for just that.
