Some of the cars reviewed are truly awesome but most truly unattainable. That said, I find the whole magazine partially attractive. It is not one of those publications that I enjoy from start to finish. I like the reviews on everyday vehicles, those that are affordable to most and look forward to see how the new releases are rated. Besides that a person would have to be a serious car buff to enjoy it thoroughly. For those reviews that pertain I give it 3 Stars.

Good Magazine, But...
April 30,2010
I have been a long time subscriber to this magazine but I have to admit that the quality of the writing has fallen, hard. The quality of the photos and performance data are still top notch. But the quality of the writing has fallen off dramatically since the new editorial staff and the new group of "writers" have taken over. I don't know if these guys actually went to journalism school or ever attended a writing class but they are just horrible. Just because you can drive a car does not imply that you can write about one.
Every issue includes some kind of joke or quip about George Bush, Dick Cheney or Sarah Palin. What do these people have to do with car performance, nothing. The so called writers at C&D think including these jokes makes up for their lack of writing ability. I guess this is what is taught at liberal journalism schools across the US today. Based on the letters to the editors of the magazines, which are included in each issue, I am not alone in my criticism of the writing.
If you can get past the GOP jokes then you might like the magazine, but for me, I will let my subscription run out. You can get all this information for free on the internet. The best part is that the free stuff on the internet won't insult your political views like C&D does.

This Magazine needs a name change!
October 21,2009
I've been reading C&D for a few years now, and while occasionally I'll find something that actually makes me want to finish the entire thing, most of the time its just slamming everything thats not a BMW. The manufacturer bias is so overwhelming that I dont really feel the need to continue reading this. but on the bright side, at least the writers over at 3SM (3 series monthly) are up front about their bias. They even go as far as saying, "even though the other car was better, we placed the BMW ahead of it, I know the other car scored better in every category and was 10k cheaper, but it cant win if its not a Bimmer hahaha!" Obviously thats not an actual quote, but its not far off from some ive read. You would think for a Michigan based mag, they might be a less stuck on the teat of a German car.

Car and Driver Magazine

Informative magazine. If you like automobiles, this is a pretty good magazine to have. It reviews several vehicles each month and has letters to the editor to comment on the nifty articles that the magazine incorporates.
Recommend to all who enjoy vehicles and want to know updated information on
automobiles and other types of vehicles, including pickup trucks, SUVs and
Hybrids.
