The Magazine for the Serious Car Person October 1, 2002

Road and Track is different than most car enthusiast magazines. Not only does it spend time on the cars of today, it also has articles on vintage models and racecars. I have found that Road and Track goes much more in depth than others, rewarding the reader. However, if you do not like performance cars look for something else
 Great pictures, classy prose and a sense of history January 16, 2002

If I was 19, maybe R&T wouldn't be my first pick as best damn car magazine on the planet. However, I'm a bit past that age and I think it is and here's why. They have John Lamm - a great photographer and someone I would love to have teach me how to do what he does. They have Phil Hill - a very good writer who can tell you about a car's history and make it come alive to where you can smell the bean oil and burning rubber. Add in Peter Egan, another of their talented writers. I would buy the magazine if it were only 5 pages long and three were by Egan, with two pages of pictures by John Lamm, illustrating a Phil Hill road test. It's a hell of a great magazine. How great? My subscription extends back to the Jimmy Carter Administration.
Best monthly car rag October 20, 2002

Like everyone else, I have read them all over the last 15-20 years. But Road & Track is the one that I have consistently subscribed to over that time. R&T offers the least biased, most informative articles and comparisons out there. Car and Driver on the other hand, seems heavily biased towards Honda and BMW (I call it the Lemming Factor) and their comparisons are overly subjective. R&T's format, photography and writing are 2nd to none and the monthly columns and auto news bits are entertaining.
Automotive Journalism at its best December 28, 2004

I'm a subscriber to Road & Track, Car and Driver, and Motor Trend. Simply put, R&T is the one I look forward to the most each month.
If you're looking for a well-rounded auto magazine, this is it. In R&T you'll find:
-Road Tests and First Drives.
-An excellent "Ampersand" monthly feature with all the latest info on future cars and prototypes.
-News about the latest races and drivers.
-Top-notch photography and art.
-Witty columnists. (see Side Glances by Peter Egan)
-The occasional technology-related feature.
-Classic cars, classic drivers, classic tracks. The best historical content in the business.
-Very little content on SUVs. (a positive in my book)
The competitors:
Car and Driver has substantially more road tests and previews, and some good specialty features on a pretty regular basis, but hardly anything on racing and history.
Frankly, Motor Trend isn't anything to write home about. The articles are shorter and less captivating, they can't seem to settle on a design theme, and they also have a lack of racing and historical content.
If I had to pick just one, Road & Track would definitely be my choice.

Road & Track is arguably the best automotive magazine out there. It has the best photography, and covers a wide range of intriguing cars. It provides excellent coverage of the latest from Ferarri and Porche, along with great articles on classic race cars.
Where R&T slacks, however, is on its coverage of every day cars. Your not going to find too much about the Ford Focus in this magazine.
If you are looking for a magazine to learn about the standard cars on the auto market, go for Motor Trend, but if you are looking for a magazine that covers exotic cars the car-lovers way, this is the magazine for you
