Total Impreza
 
Anyone had there's delivered yet, as it was on release 3rd Sept ?

belliott69 08 September 2009 06:05 PM

nope it always seems to turn up a week or so later for me, probably be worse now that its meant to be sold in W H smiths as theyll wanna meet there deadlines with them first. good read when it turns up though.

uk300scoob 08 September 2009 06:11 PM

in easons on the shelves and on scoobyparts.com, wasnt that good either this issue but its getting better

scatty 08 September 2009 06:36 PM

its deffo out in whsmiths....:thumb:

impgb270 08 September 2009 06:59 PM

One of the reasons I subscribed to this was to have it on my doorstep as soon as it was released, like the other magazine I get ............ Evo.

Not really happy that it's out there on shop shelve's and not in my hands, need to sort this out as its not the best read anyway.

Big Pete 08 September 2009 08:51 PM

We get ours from the little newsagents in town :)

my94wrx 08 September 2009 09:15 PM

got mine from WHsmiths on Saturday i subscribed at first but was glad when that ran out, as they messed around far to much and delivered when they could be bothered

impgb270 09 September 2009 07:23 PM

Still nothing through the post today :Suspiciou they really are taking the ........ss now :mad:

M444GY 09 September 2009 07:28 PM

i just found out my local newsagents sells it . sweet :thumb:

jaywrxsti 09 September 2009 08:23 PM

how s##t is this :mad: i thought the idea of subscribtion is to get it before it goes in the shops not week later j

impgb270 09 September 2009 08:44 PM

Yep, agree, thats one of the supposed benefits of the subscription. Evo is first class this isn't even cattle class !!

Wont be doing this again will in the future be buying it on a as and when basis now.

Some of the articles are just plain boring, some more thought and effort could go into some of the topics.

Rant over

i picked up my first copy of this the other day from WH Smiths. Has an orange bugeye on the front.

Not sure i will be buying anohter copy tho. Really cant get on with the way it is written. Pretty disappointed to be honest!

TheVoices 09 September 2009 09:04 PM

I bought my first copy from the petrol station the other day, what a complete load of c**p !

How can they justify £4.50 for this rubbish ?

It's just a load of 'advertorials' (advert/editorial)

Like the things you see in the local paper motoring section where a dealership has paid the paper to do a piece on them in the form of an article.

Pages and pages about how great such a specialist is, tyre article by 'Toyo', they really are scraping the bottom of the barrel !

I used to think 'Banzai' was bad but this is on a whole new level, how do I get a refund ?

impgb270 09 September 2009 09:16 PM

Well lets hope they take on board some of these comments because with a little re-direction it could be worth the asking fee. If not bye, bye Total Impreza !!

fully agree with you, i normally have a quick scoot through them at the newsagents first to see if its worth buying, as for the articles they are normally the same for total Nissan and total evolution, so be careful if you ever happen to pick one of the other 2 without looking first as you would have already read most of it in total impreza.

impgb270 10 September 2009 04:51 PM

Just spoken to someone at Total Impreza and the reason for the delays is the subscription orders were held back due to some problem with a postal strike in Scotland.

But he said they were sent out Monday, but I still aint got mine yet............

jaywrxsti 10 September 2009 05:32 PM

not got mine yet either, funny how they used to come on here when they where starting off . but cant post to explain delays:wonder: j

Dave Y 10 September 2009 05:47 PM

still waiting for mine,wont subscribe again.

slipstream_uk 10 September 2009 05:48 PM

I stopped my subscription to this crap after the 4th copy.
Mine was always around 2 weeks late, the content was very poor at the time.

Ive had a quick glance at the recent ones on the shop shelves and Im still not impressed with it.

Myles 10 September 2009 05:50 PM

I've bought a couple, it just doesn't seem to flow properly. Some of the articles are just fillers, due to the lack of Impreza based material. I dont mind the readers drives part (or whatever its called)

impgb270 10 September 2009 06:20 PM

If were all moaning about the content, why dont they come on here and ask what they could do to improve it :wonder:

As it was mentioned earlier they used to be on here promoting it, dont seem to hear much from them now, guess they must be happy with what there producing :rolleyes:

zedhed 10 September 2009 07:18 PM

I got mine from local newsagent, i thought it was ok but i thought it could do with a problem solving section using text and pictures.
I agree with some comments but i bet its a nightmare putting a mag together that would half satisfy the buyers its aimed at.

phil739 10 September 2009 07:22 PM

not got mine yet ... wont subscibe again

lordharding 10 September 2009 10:27 PM

Still waiting on mine

spoke to my mate who lives in hamilton and he didnt know about a post strike !!

Jonnys3 11 September 2009 02:03 PM

Mine came through the letter box this morning.

Sti-Tom 11 September 2009 05:15 PM

got mine today!!

AT LAST. i agree its getting to be a joke now, they should post it out to there subscribers 1st!! NOT WEEKS LATE.

Sti-Tom 11 September 2009 05:18 PM

and they could of done better coverage of the NBO!!

to many adverts repeated mag after mag.

should be called total joke impeza mag

powerwrx 11 September 2009 05:33 PM

got mine today.. not read it yet

jaywrxsti 11 September 2009 07:17 PM

still not got mine, missus subscribed for 2 yrs as a b'day pressie so stuck with the ****e service for another 1 1/2 yrs:mad: j

impgb270 11 September 2009 09:13 PM

It turned up today also and I couldn't agree more about the coverage they gave to the Nbo. The sheer effort put in by loads and all this publication could do was give it 1 small coloum of text and a few pictures one been off there own bloody stand ! It's not on !
