    btw, I would just like to clarify that I only used MaxPower as an example because I don't know any of the other custom car magazines.

    Glad we could get that straight

    i have a subscription to new scientist which is great cause it comes every week and is easier, more convinient and nicer to read than on the internet. And to access full articles online you need to be a subscriber anyway.

    I pick up Imagine FX fairly regularly and Edge every now and then.

    Only thing is once I'm done reading them I feel a bit bad when it comes to throwing them away, as they cost so darn much in the first place! (£6 an issue)

    Re: Magazines - Outdated?

    I don't think anything replaces the convience of a magazine or a book, until the idea of an eBook/eMag reader gets so it's basically pick up and go, I think it'll stay that way.

    I really like it. Nice, varied cars in the fleet, decent write ups of your everyday cars as well as the usual desireables. I get it most months and enjoy it more than the other car mags.

    Re: Magazines - Outdated?

    I think they are pretty much on the way out and have been for a while.
    But they are good for reading about stuff in a convenient way, for example on the train, if you don't have a laptop, etc.

    I buy Stuff, and guitar related music mags when the mood strikes me.

    http://www.roadmagazine.co.uk/

    and http://imotormag.co.uk/


    Couple of online car mags I read occasionally. The first is easier to read though, as it sticks to the traditional magazine format - pages with info. The second seems to blend web and magazine style publications, and doesn't seem to do it too well.

    In many situations, I'd rather be reading a mag in print than on a laptop, even though I do have a laptop. Online mags certainly have their advantages and benefits, but for relaxed reading, I'd go for print every single time.

    I certainly agree with that, it's quite satisfying when you are done and it goes on the rack as well, maybe that justs me..

    Same with my comics lol

    Re: Magazines - Outdated?

    I still buy magazines sometimes.
    when the weather is nice i like to sit in the garden and read a magazine.
    thing is at this rate we will do everything on the computer. I like to take a break from looking at a screen.
    I hope magazines dont stop being sold.
    Thing is you can read news online but people still pay 50p day for a newspaper.
    kinda like music downloads versis cd
    I still prefer cd's you get the artwork and higher quality sound.
