Car and Driver Magazine US Reviews

I have been a regular Car and Driver reader over the last 35 years. In that time frame, Car and Driver has always held the edge on all the rest of the car magazine population. It comes from the writing, the fact that they know exactly what you know, and they are not afraid to admit it. They are upfront and honest.

I love the magazine, but the electronic version does not work as it should. I have a paid subscription so I downloaded the December issue when it became available. I did not get all the way through it before the January issue was released, but I no longer have access to the December copy. To read it, I am prompted to pay again, even though I am a paid subscriber.

To make matters worse, I attempted to download the January issue, but an error popped up saying I don’t have the storage space. This Ipad has 15 gb of unused space, so O know there is plenty of storage space.

CarandDriverMagazineUS needs fixed because as it stands, I will not renew my subscription.

My car magazine subscriptions are down to only this one. I’ve been a C/D subscriber since the 80’s and still look forward to the every issue.

CarandDriverMagazineUS was recently updated and they went back to the old, crappy way of presenting the magazine. The UI is confusing and inconsistent. Most of the links do not work.

In addition, all of my downloaded editions were deleted with this update! That includes all of the favorites I bookmarked. Worse, the space used by the old editions was not freed up. To do that I had to delete and reinstall CarandDriverMagazineUS . All this with no advanced notice of all the changes.

I really liked the previous, simpler version.

Can not pass the pages, you have to go back to the cover and tap on a highlight to go to the page and then you are stuck there.

The latest update changed the interface. Now the articles scroll vertically!?! The links are too easy to hit, scrolling is buggy, and CarandDriverMagazineUS is sluggish with this latest update. I saw nothing wrong with the old PDF-like presentation; this is, after all, simply supposed to be a digital representation of a physical magazine. Please get rid of this overly-complicated and sluggish interface and bring back the old PDF-style magazine.

Been a digital subscriber for at least 5 years, at least 25 years of the print edition before that. App was stable for a long time and it was fine. But in the last 3 to 4 months it’s been terrible! It crashes numerous times while reading, and just this week, I had to reinstall CarandDriverMagazineUS a bunch of times because I got nothing but a frozen screen! Just started working now. I don’t know for how long.

The magazine gives current information on cars available and in the pipeline.
The information is practical and meets my expectations and interest

Got the latest update on March 8. Swiping is still broken for the March 2018 issue (it’s working for the February issue).

I’m on the latest iOS on iPhone X.

I enjoy receiving the magazine each month. I have always been a car guy, and the magazine keeps me up-to date on the latest automotive technology.

Read it and see what I mean!

Only the price per issue needs to come down for the working man and those on limited income

The crashing has finally been fixed, but that’s just been replaced with other problems such as the latest issue not being visible... maybe it’s just me.

After my subscription expired I had no longer access to my magazines. I had 3 unread magazines and only got access after renewing my subscription. I contacted customer service but go a an answer on a question I did not ask.

I can’t navigate through the magazines since the last update. Swiping just bounces back to the previous page and only some links work. Given that the only purpose of CarandDriverMagazineUS is to read through magazines CarandDriverMagazineUS is currently useless.

I submitted a review earlier and complained that I couldn't get the issues - after I paid for a subscription. Well, it took a few days (processing maybe?) but I was able to download both the July and August issues.
I really like CarandDriverMagazineUS when I'm traveling because it frees up space in my checked luggage and it also offers video. I might suggest to some others that want Car & Driver to give them CarandDriverMagazineUS for free to wait for their subscription to end and then get this. It's a different form of media than the print version (and I see that Motor Trend is doing the same now). This is clearly superior.

Awful. Impossible to navigate in a logical manner I honestly can’t even figure out how to read one of the latest comparison test. I see the title page of the test but no matter how I try I can’t scroll to the content using any gestures that makes sense.

Content is great. CarandDriverMagazineUS is obscure and incomprehensible. When it takes you to the website you get 404.

Every month when I try to access my subscription, CarandDriverMagazineUS does not recognize my username/password. I send e-mail asking for help, then we start the dance:
Delete CarandDriverMagazineUS and reinstall, nope
I have to send a ticket to reset your account, loose a couple more days
Receive e-mail to reset my account!
It works!, only after a week of e-mailing.
Next month, start all over again (last 4 months)
I’ve asked to cancel my subscription

Run, don’t walk away from this crappy app.

I cannot log in after multiple attempts and following their instructions. Worst of all there is no where to email support unless you are logged in. Which is the very issue I am running into.

Giving up on C&D as a whole.

When scrolling past an ad page CarandDriverMagazineUS forces open a browser that takes you to the product page. Infuriating and disruptive. Good luck canceling your subscription.
