(or were you joking?
lol)autocar is a better magazine,
personally the best car mag on sale at the moment is retro cars
Evo is simply in a class of its own. Remember the Clio 182 epic - finishing joint second in the 2004 COTY (Car Of The Year to the uninitiated). Autocar had it as the best perfomance car under £20K.
Top Gear shamelessly/embarassingly gifted the Fiesta ST150 victory over the Clio 182. We all know which is the better car. I think they (Evo) just about get the balance between fantasy cars & the real world although they seem slightly biased towards anything from Porsche - never commenting on the constraints of having an engine at the back.

Im a subscriber, the photography is mega and the jurnos write really well. Only thinks I dont like are the editorial bits, they tend to just talk total sh*te in those, but the articles are good. Deffo give you a good idea what car to buy for pure performance, Im another one who chose the 172 by looking down the figures in the back, didnt even know they existed before that lol
Its variable I think. I do subscribe, but there was a time a year or two ago when it seemed to go through a patch, where virtually every article sounded like a bunch of overpaid public-school boys on a jolly outing in their dads expensive motors. I didnt like, and still dont like, the habit they have of referring to each other by surname in their articles, as if they were all members of some private old boys club.
I love the photography. I dont like a lot of the writing - too long-winded, too much focus on themselves, biased towards brand new cars, not enough respect for genuine enthusiasts who get their hands dirty tuning and modifying, or who choose to run old performance classics.
What keeps me buying it is that there is no competition really, and that over the last year they do seem to have been coming down from their high horse. Theyre starting to recognise that most people do not spend over 30 grand on a car, not everyone has the time or money to go on track days, and that s a lot of us have to spend our own money on our wheels, not the companys. I like an article on a Zonda as much as the next man, but not every month.
