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.

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.

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 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 ?

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.

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............

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.

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)

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

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

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.

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 !
