Motor Trend Magazine Subscription

Pros: Excellent photography, attractive layout
Cons: Questionable past history, brash self-righteous attitude, feeling they don't give all.

Motor Trend (MT) is the periodical equivalent of the high-school tough-guy whose reputation's origins are largely unknown other than the fact he beat up an anemic kid back in second grade and nobody's dared test him since. The cutesy spelling of...

Pros: Well written articles; cutting edge images; lots of ground covered.
Cons: Too much advertising.

Like most men in their twenties I was a car guy. I ate and drank the elixir of horsepower, torque, RPM’s, wheel-base cockpit esthetics, and sheet metal. I could recite long lists of carlines and their varying specifications. I subscribed to and ...

Pros: $10 a year subscription price, Inside scoop on cars/next generation projects, pictures
Cons: Emphasis on high priced cars out of range for most consumers

Motor Trend is an American tradition, coming in slightly behind Apple Pie, Ice Cream, Pizza, Donuts, and drive thru coffee shops. I fell in love with cars first, before I realized that girls didn't have cooties.(I was 25 at the time....just joking. ...

Pros: Easy to read formatting, Well written reviews, Surveys/reader mail, subscription price.
Cons: Far too many advertisements, cover price, questionable 0-60 and 1/4th times on many cars.

While Car and Driver magazine Boasts better sales than Motor Trend, Motor Trend has always been my favorite car Mag. I have been subscribing to Motor Trend Magazine for over 8 months now, and have been buying individual issues off and on for as ...

Pros: plenty of features, good comparison data,nice mix of reviews
Cons: too many ads

In front of the computer here I have a July 2005 edition of Motor Trend magazine. It's used, but in good condition. Opening bid is $0.01 and shipping... Oops,wrong website! This is the first issue of Motor Trend magazine that I have bought. I've ...

Pros: Detailed American auto show coverage, excellent car care tips
Cons: Biased towards Glamour, little attention paid to inexpensive cars

While sometimes it is interesting to energize one's fantasies with 400 horsepower, $300,000 supercars, a comparison of these rather expensive toys every couple of months gets tiring - especially if you can't even afford a single monthly payment on one...

Pros: Compares like cars
Cons: Could be more direct

I've been receiving Motor Trend for the past six months, and I find it extremely interesting, but it never sais anything bad about any of the cars tested.
I started to get the magazine for free because I switched long distance companies to...

Pros: all
Cons: none

I really like this magazine. They do a superb job of reviewing and critiquing cars. Motor Trend helped us pick and buy our last three cars. Our 1989 Volvo 740 GLE, our 1998 Chrysler Town and Country, and our 2000 BMW 323ci. We always heard...

Pros: Future car info; Surprising test results?
Cons: Too many to list.

About two years ago I had an opportunity to receive a free Motor Trend subscription. I turned it down. As much as I like free stuff, you've got to draw the line somewhere. The writers at this mag have entirely no credibility. They always find a way to ...

Pros: Motor Trend writes about all types of cars, not just expensive exotics and luxury cars
Cons: Maybe a bit too many pictures?

OK, I admit it, I like Motor Trend because of its pictures. Motor Trend is different from most car magazines in that instead of providing just one or two pics, it usually provides upwards of 5 or 6 high quality pics per car. This means a lot to me...

Pros: Superb photography / Occasional great article
Cons: Many boring articles / Excessive advertising

Today my 4th issue of Motor Trend arrived. However, instead of getting home and reading into it like I have the past 3 times, I set it quietly on the dining room table. I scanned through this month's articles with little fanfare, seeing nothing much...

Pros: Massive car specs/performance data, new car info
Cons: Same thing every issue, they make every car sound great

A couple of years ago I received a free subscription to motor trend as a gift. To tell the truth, I was excited about it and I looked forward to the magazine coming every month. But after about a year of getting the magazine, it just turned into...

Pros: Pretty pictures of fast cars
Cons: Journalists without integrity, inaccurate, technically incompetent

I have been a subscriber to several car magazines for at least the past 15 years of my life. Two of my greatest passions in life are automobiles and journalism: combine these two and you have somebody who consumes car magazines as if it were popcorn. I...

Pros: Complete, unbiased reviews, fair coverage, great writing, and the latest news
Cons: Would like to see less exotics, and more real-world cars compared.

I've been a loyal subscriber to Motor Trend since 1994, and I can't tell you just how much I look forward to each new issue in my mailbox. Every month, I see the articles on just about everything with four wheels, from the smallest compacts up to the...

Pros: pictures
Cons: bias, tempermental writer, poorly written

I've been a long time subscriber to auto related magazines and recently (about 2 years ago) started to recieve motor trend at a $10/year rate. First of all, the magazine is extremely thin when compared to other auto mags. Subscribers get jipped by an...
