EVOs ok - aimed more at the 45+ market and you don't get any freebies. FC gives you CD wallets, air fresheners and DVDs and it's a quality read...

they give you all the extras as the rest is crap and nobody would buy it otherwise FACT!!

i must admit ive got sum of the free dvd`s and there spot on, because the ones i have have got nothing to do with the magazine at all (high octane ones etc etc)

the free mag that i got with my high octane dvd`s sat beside my bed for about 2/3 months before i even looked at it (and was thrown in the bin soon after)

and dont get me wrong, when i was 16/17 i bought all the mags, hell i even had one of my old cars featured in one of them, but it just got to a point where i thought "these cars are ****e" and didnt see the point in spending £15+ month for crappy mags which had the same old cars in time and time again with diffrent paint jobs

typical mag layout:

****
civic with jap front end
****
adverts
nova with civic style jap front end
adverts
****
adverts
206 with lexus lights
staff cars, 1 or 2 are modded and the rest are cruise specials with a set of blagged alloys and a chrome tax disc holder
adverts
****
corsa with a civic style jap front end on it
adverts of cars for sale, all with a civic style, jap front end on it
end cover

In my view Max power is jammed full of ADS but Fast car also does but still has a better read to it..


Also Max power always seems to have some American car on it (from what av seen in WH smith).. Max power seems to be more of a lifestyle magazine than outright car one.

Import Tuner for me, I have to get it from an American base tho.
Good adverts for various yank/jap parts distributors.
