All the R&T, MT, and C&D test the same cars every month.  Personally, I can't stand to read MT.  I don't subscribe to anything but I also don't buy every month....if a car I find interesting is on the cover...I'll pick it up.  Otherwise, I'll go online and read it there.

Geez one minute you guys are talking LUXURY cars,fancy mods,HID Lights,Phat Boxes and what not and now we are quibbling over $80 fer a handfull on CAR MAGAZINES...I SAID CAR MAGAZINES...nothing like the immediacy of paper in yer hands and the ability to throw it in the car while wifey shops,hide it between the pages of the big decorating mags she has you look at to agree with her ideas!!!.Take to the crapper or into a lazy bath(why hasn't someone invented a decent reading tub?).
       Let the moths outa yer billfolds keep Canada's Forestries going.....
   
  US Rags rated in my opinion
            Cart & Drover...funny,cheeky almost agrees with my assessment of cars(we all love to be validated on our opinions..NO!!??)..
       2nd   Ride & Truck....Love Egans column,great pics ,somewhat stodgy prose but good info and conclusions...

   2nd Tied...Hautomobile...Somewhat different fron the above two,good columnists,different pics a lil artsy fartsy bur good solid sh*t...

 Meter Trend won't even take it out the Library fer free..stuck in the fifties,,pathetic how does it survive..$5 dollar give away subscriptions to rake in ads....

Canadian Car Guide & wheels have let subscriptions lapse as free at Library..nice change of pace and not having to convert everything to metric or Canuck Bucks in nice.

Car and Classic Automobiles from UK were cheap for a while..now read them at Chapters/Indigo..

  Autotrader ...FREEEEEE!!!! fer Snowie.....

I recommend spending that money at the Starbuck's in your local Chapter's (or better yet, Tim's along the way) and reading them all.

Has World of Wheels gone bankrupt? They're almost a joke. The Canadian Int'l Autoshow issue of Carguide is good, and I'll buy it at the show.

I've subscribed to Car & Driver since the early 1980's, but let it lapse last year. The tests are generally quite well done, but the editorial content has become intolerably right wing over the last few years.

I'd agree that Car is the best, but we don't get many of the models tested (unfortunately). Road and track have the best editorial content, but their road tests have become more subjective and lighter on hard numbers.  

Lately much of the car info I get is from this site and you jokers. If that’s wrong I don’t wanna be right!

For an alternate type of car mag, try Grassroots Motorsports which now has a Canadian edition. It's mostly aimed at the weekend warrior that likes to use a sports car for what it was intended: spirited driving in controlled environments. It's all about function over style, no fawning over how many cup holders are in the car with this one.
