 Motor Trend scores a GOAL !!! April 14, 2008
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
Motor Trend is a rather good, well written car magazine for auto enthusiasts. The articles are timely and full of facts and opinions about cars, new hybrids and the like. The quality of the paper is quite good and the print is always easy to read as well.
The cover "story" makes for a big splash but it's not sensationalism: the magazine backs it all up with a beefy article exploring the car, SUV or other vehicle in detail. The articles are peppered with well shot photos that enhance your understanding of what the article is trying to tell the reader.
There are ads and articles for a diversity of people; this month's issue, for example, has an article on the latest Bentley coming out. I suppose that's for the rich. SMILE On the other hand, there is also an extensive review--with photos--of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. I think it's great they cover cars for people in all income brackets.
Look for more interesting articles. They review a Land Rover's performance in Argentina where apparently the vehicle must REALLY climb steep hills; and they take a "first drive" look at the Mercedes-Benz SL63 There's even a brief article on GMC's Sierra's first HYBRID vehicle--excellent!
Of course, you were waiting for me to mention this--the magazine has ads. In fact, it has LOTS of ads. This is one time, however, when I didn't entirely mind seeing lots of advertisements in a magazine. These ads provide the reader with resources for tires, noise canceling Bluetooth headsets, automotive accessories like heavy duty, strong plastic mats for the floors of your vehicle, and more. That's useful for readers who want to keep current on the latest supplies for their cars and, in the case of the Bluetooth headsets, accessories to make traveling by car a much better experience for so many of us.
Overall, I like Motor Trend. It's not for everyone; but it's great in my book. I like the articles that enable me to keep my ear to the ground for new automotive developments; and the advertisements also keep me updated as well.
Great job, Motor Trend!
The best automotive magazine sold today. November 16, 2001

The format of this magazine is superb and makes navigating easy. Motor Trend's Car of the Year, SUV of the year, and Truck of the year inform buyers of teriffic cars. Also, their comparisons are laid out in the best way possible.
Still the best! March 22, 2004

Motor Trend magazine is one of the best of the best. I've been reading it since I was 10. This magazine is very informative, and does get good performance numbers. Articles are well written, comparisons are excellent. They always are the first to drive the lastest models. This magazine is a lot more entertaining and interesting to read than Car and Driver. They are 100% enthusiasts, bold and respected, this magazine is ahead of the pace. Motor Trend is the best car magazine!
Best automag for the buck March 2, 2007

Motor Trend never fails to deliver. I like the fact that they cover such a wide variety of vehicles, everything from SUVs, CUVs, trucks, sportscars, import "tuners", sub-compacts, high-priced exotics, concepts and rumors. The news is fresh and accurate, the issues arrive on time, the mags are thick, pics are crisp, letters are interesting and articles provide usefull information.
The only auto magazine you need to read. March 9, 2004
Well, I think the title says it all, but I'll go ahead with a proper review. First off, the Editor's column is good sometimes, and the other columns (or column-from the exec. editor) afterwards, is pretty good too. But the meat and potatoes, as they say, of the mag, is the tests. They do great, wonderful, magnificent, excellent, superb, tests; and they're very in-depth. They show charts with all the data and along with comparisons of everything they tested in that story or feature or article. They do 1 year checkups sometimes, like stuff they did 1 year ago (which currently would be the 2003 model[s] ), but you also see some 2002's in there. Anyway, it's very cool, and of course you have to love the (insert auto type here) of the year awards, which is mainly what I was referring to in my above praise.
