Mostly interested in mods to my Mk7. Not necessarily track/racing, but current trends in styling, mods, tires/wheels, accessories and other mods....

None really anymore. I used to subscribe to a couple but they are all either too broad and out of my interest or all show and no go. Instead I browse websites and forums which cost a lot less.

Motor Trend, Car & Driver, Road & Track... etc.
My favorite was the super comparisons like “Battle of the Econo Hatches” or “King of the Grand Tourers”... Would also skip all the articles and go straight to the performance times/data!
The only time I buy one now is at the airport, to kill time on the plane.

Car and Driver and Road and Track were the paper magazines I actually subscribed to. I still get the Car and Driver one though.

Road and track was worth it just for Peter Egan's monthly story, but he semi retired and everything is online now. It also seems like they all spend too much time on crossovers and super cars now, nothing for the Everyman.

I still have some combination of motor tend, car and driver, and road and track from 1994 - now. Some months just 1, but most at least 2.

I stopped subscribing when 90% of them turned to advertising on every other page. Road and Track was the last one I cancelled. Now I just read Highlights at the doctor's office, when we could actually go there.

I don't know of any tuner type car magazines any more.. is SuperStreet still around?

I only check out factory car reviews off C&D, Edmunds, KBB, MotorTrend video's mostly. Then it''s really just skimming through various car forums to gather brand/model names, then reviews on YouTube, then decide what I want to do next.

I think the hardest (yet most important) part of the search is finding the reliable stores.
