How do you feel about articles with comparison charts (one model vs. another)?:

Approx. time spent reading the magazine(s):

Do you subscribe or buy it off the shelf?:

The number of cars you own, their age and make:

Thanks for the help.

In order of preference

Excellence - Best Porsche mag and not "wine and cheese" crowd stuff. They actually have 914 contentf
Panorama - because I belong to PCA - good tech articles
European Car - keep up on the latest products... high German car conent - no rice crap
Road & Track - good toilet reading material on all that's new in cars
Saveur - sort of a blend between Gourmet and CondeNast Traveller
Shotgun Sports - learn how to target redshift better
Sporting Clays - again more "target" practice
PC World - stopped reading it lately... I'm sick of computers
Smithsonian - because my wife "decided" to make a donation (they send me TWO each month... and we've called!
Big'uns magazine - umm.... no... I don't get that... how'd that get there?

I usually get mags based on my interests (hobbies). From above you can tell I like European cars (mostly German), cooking, shotgun sports, science/history, and computers


How do you feel about articles with comparison charts (one model vs. another)?:

Comparison's are okay. I like the Hi's and Low's and the verdict. I like the comparison charts. See which one performs the best overall.

Would you also like to have additional life-style editorial, e.g., local travel, food, etc?

Don't care.

Approx. time spent reading the magazine(s):

Honest, mostly on the crapper. So 15 minutes or so each day. Sometimes I will open up a new issue and read it in the kitchen after I get the mail, if a cover article looks really good.

Do you subscribe or buy it off the shelf?:

Mostly subscribe. Sometimes I buy when I travel (airplane reading material)

The number of cars you own, their age and make:

2001 Porsche Boxster, '75 Porsche 914, 2002 Chevy Suburban
