The best car magazine? If you own a Ferrari or Bugatti...Yes.

byshoplmart Dec 7, 2002

Pros Subscription price, Articles.
Cons Non subscription price, Typical auto mag overdose of advertisements.
Recommended it? Yes

Growing tired of the same styled auto news/reviews in Motor Trend and Car and Driver Magazines I decided to go with a unlikely selection: Automobile. If you have read some of my reviews here at Epinions then you have most likely found that I have an extreme interest in automobiles so a good car... Read full review »

Automobile Magazine -- Whoop-dee-doo.

Pros It is a classy auto rag
Cons It is an auto rag
Recommended it? No

Ah yes ? the automobile magazine. It is a staple in the diet of any teenage boy and the man who never outgrew his teenage years (and to be fair, auto mechanics and the like purchase these magazines). These magazines typically show flashy sports cars and concept cars that most human beings couldn?t... Read full review »

Automobile Magazine-- In a Class All It's Own

Pros Nice variety in articles and autos.
Cons Advertisements, of course!
Recommended it? Yes

When I first started getting Automobile Magazine in the mail, I figured it would be just like Car and Driver and Motor Trend.  Wrong!  Automobile Magazine has a nice variety of articles on upper end automobiles, exotic autos and what I call "everyday vehicles".

Classy mag, needs to lighten up a bit

Pros Sophisticated writing, good editorials
Cons Lacks humor, no independent road test data
Recommended it? Yes

As I note in my Car & Driver review, I've been a long time subscriber to that magazine. I especially loved it when David E. Davis was editor. Then, back in '86 or so, he departed to start a new magazine. A press magnate, I believe it was Rupert Murdoch, offered him the opportunity to start his own... Read full review »

Automobile Magazine is an excellent car mag alternative

Pros Nice pictures, excellent coverage in areas I care about
Cons Almost too much to read
Recommended it? Yes

I admit that I was a bit nervous about reading this magazine for the first time...it resembles a cheap, off-brand name car magazine. However, upon closer inspection, I was pleasantly surprised with the articles and the layout...

First of all, Automobile Magazine is the only magazine whose... Read full review »

An auto mag that is actually worth a subscription

Pros High production values; honest; not politically correct
Cons Too honest; Offends some readers
Recommended it? Yes

Whenever I make my routine visit to the local B&N to read the latest magazines, I notice that the car rags are regularly the most ruffled, folded and worn. I can't blame the other patrons; most car magazines are a good newsstand read, but that's about it. Most are filled with ads, have subpar... Read full review »

"Automobile" is leading the automobile magazines

Pros Good Mag, Great news and Themed Issues
Cons BMW bias
Recommended it? Yes

I really enjoy Automobile Magazine. I have had subscriptions to most of the Auto magazines, at some time, and find Automobile the most interesting. I really enjoy all car magazines, but there are many small things that I feel put Automobile above the rest. I haven't subscribed to any other monthly... Read full review »

Pros Very attractive appearance, some decent writing styles
Cons Lack of original content and interesting articles
Recommended it? No

I consider myself quite knowledgeable on car magazines. I have seen and read most of the magazines that are availible in the US for many years now. I know what I like and what I don't like about these types of magazines. Automobile magazine is a comparative new comer to the automagazine front. They... Read full review »

Pros Contains useful information
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

I have been a subscriber to Automobile magazine since last year. I love Automobile because it gives plenty of useful information on the cars that I love, and no bs on them either. I especially like the four seasons section of the magazine because it gives in depth reviews on the latest models. The... Read full review »

Pros Well laid-out, energetically written, wonderfully up-to-date
Cons Only twelve issues a year.. Biased towards BMW (but then again, who isn't?)
Recommended it? Yes

When I was a kid, I ordered one of those billion-piece plastic army man sets from the back of a comic book. You know, the ones that came with 24 infantrymen, 18 bazooka men, 4 mortar cannons, 2 field nurses, 14 grenade throwers, 2 jeeps, etc. etc. The day after I sent the slip and my mother's check...
