Test some cars for the "Average" buyer March 8, 2005 David Smith 7 out of 18 found this review helpful
This magazine is not for the average car buyer. They might as well call this the Robb Report. They only test highend cars and the "best" ones are the ones that go 0-60mph the quickest, not ride nice or get good mpg.
THE BEST CAR MAGAZINE PERIOD! November 23, 2001 Jan Pochop (Los Angeles, CA USA) 6 out of 8 found this review helpful
Car and Driver is an excellent car magazine. Great reviews and amazing editorials. Unlike many other car magazines, these guys actually know how to write well. I like how they do 70-0 brake tests as opposed to 60-0. It is a more realistic speed to test the brakes at. Plus they test odd vehicles like a M-1 tank and a nuclear submarine. Keeps me entertained. Highly recommended!
Strident December 26, 2001 John DeTreville (Seattle, WA United States) 5 out of 12 found this review helpful
I enjoy the car reviews but its strident right-wing editorials make me cringe. I've stopped reading it.
If You Love Cars... January 9, 2002 yygsgsdrassil (Crossroads America) 5 out of 8 found this review helpful
....this is it! Road tests, safety checks, the new car previews. If you are a big car nut like I am, you need this.
sometimes incorrect and totally biased. September 16, 2005 Terrence (Queens, NY USA) 5 out of 15 found this review helpful
this magazine is almost as bad as consumer reports. their comparison tests never adhere to their thesis about what the tests is measureing, for example a comparison test is said to be about quick acceleration and on point handling and then the car with the lack lust performance in handling and acceleration would be #1 in ranking. often, the car reviews are always mentioning information about a car that isn't relevant, or doesn't make sense, or the review isn't consistent with the posted viehicle stats. the magazine also seems to be biased. some vehicles are criticized with more irrelevant information than others to say its awful. after further reading of many issues, you would think they are playing favortism towards certain brands or recieving kick backs from manufacturers, for example, you will always see the domestic brand being referred to as basically "trash" and a japanese brand or a BMW is always the way to go, when once again the posted stats and sometimes photos say different.this is more noticeable when you can predict the out come of their reviews. ultimately, its a bad guide towards getting any information on automobiles period. its the pat robertson of auto magazines. if it were possible, i woudln't even give this magazine 1 star.
