Average Rating: Rating: - Probably the Most Fun of the Major Automotive Magazines I've always enjoyed Car & Driver because it has a solid technical foundation supplemented by great photography and, perhaps most importantly, a great sense of humor about the automotive industry. The "10Best" issue is not to be missed, and aside from being the standard for excellence amongst automotive offerings for the given year, that issue will inevitably include some amusing feature and generally the 10 best stories about something involving hilarious hijinks and so on. On a monthly basis, C&D is a pleasure because, hey, they feature the coolest cars. Their anti-SUV stance seems to be softening in recent issues, which to me is a travesty of a mockery of a sham. But I see this as an inevitable tip of the hat to the tastes of the American readership. Some readers, in the magazine's amusing letters to the editor section, accuse the magazine of an anti-detroit pro-BMW stance, but I disagree. Their position on the Corvette Z-06 seems to indicate that they favor Detroit when their products deliver the goods (in this case, Porsche Turbo performance at about a third of the price). Reviews tend to be 3 or 4 pages long with great photography and welcome insight. These guys favor performance and aestheticism first and foremost, but definitely keep a watchful eye on safety and utility. This is an enthusiasts magazine and the staff will readily mock a "Consumer Reports" approach to writing about cars. Nonetheless, when "comparos" are being conducted (a comparison of multiple cars within a given segment), generally the article will show editorial ratings on a 10 point scale for a variety of attributes amongst the cars ("engine," "transmission," "back seat comfort" for example). In the end, however, the winner is often chosen on an independent scale ("best overall") that is influenced, but not determined by the sum of the others. Technically, the magazine seems to me both thorough and accessible. I learned a lot of my automotive jargon from this rag, and as my understanding has grown I have not found the magazine to be too simple. But I should state that this is not really a magazine for those who want to modify their vehicles. In these cases I would recommend one of the primedia offerings (Sport Compact Car, European Car, and Turbo come to mind). About the only problem I see with this magazine is that it's fairly obvious which way the editorial staff swings politically (to the right). If you don't share their political positions, sometimes these guys can be aggravating. (...) Rating: - Best Car Magazine out there! I have subscribed to them all at one time or another, Motor Trend, Road and Track, Auto Week. I always come back to Car and Driver. I love their writing style, which is always funny. My tastes in cars have changed in the last 10-15 years and interestingly enough so has the reviews of C & D to match my tastes. I like the hard stances of the opionion pages and find the hard nosed pro-car, speed, power to be a nice change from the safety comes first and scared of their own shadow American Public. What ever happended to a little adventure? Rating: - Middle of the Road Like its competitor Road & Track, Car and Driver is apparently written to appeal to nearly anyone who drives. This magazine has reviews on vehicles ranging from exotic sports cars to minivans. Generally, the articles are informative and well written. But do not expect a careful study of quality as you might find in Consumer Reports. Also, the visual appeal of this magazine is not nearly that of the many European car magazines.
