Motoring Magazines

Does anyone still buy these or get them online, I noticed Autocar and Auto Express for March 12th had very similar content for the new this and new that car, pretty sure years ago they had their own agenda so it was worth buying both Mags

I'm looking for a new car at the moment but I've not bought any car magazines. I find there is all the information you need online and there's plenty of YouTube road test videos.

I'm guessing as Terry mentioned all these will probably be all online only in a few years. Imagine Wesley having to download all his car manuals

I can never find the right "page" with online manuals. Usually give up & just get stuck in.

Not sure if it's the same where you live but I can view most magazines free via Pressreader using my local library membership. Bearing in mind What Car? is about £8 it's not bad for free! That said I much prefer physical magazines rather than digital.

It's not just motoring magazines, I used to love getting new car brochures sadly they're all online too. I've bought a new Golf and you don't even get a PDF brochure just an interactive thingy on the website where you configure your car - it's just not the same.

On a more serious note I feel sorry for the older generations who buy new cars as you also tend not to get vehicle manuals anymore again these are all online or sometimes on the in car entertainment system which isn't the easiest to quickly reference. As Blur said "modern life is rubbish"
