“Great magazine”

Stephen P.

I read plenty of books about cars and magazines as well. I have decided to find new magazine in order to read new articles about cars and motorcycles. I found this service in the internet and I was really interested in the material which is presented here. Now I'm waiting for new edition every month and I try to earn more money in order to afford myself to buy this magazine. In my opinion, people always should read something that they really like in order to be happy. This service is great and I'm sure that I will buy magazines here more and more, because the materials is great.

In oct. I renewed my Hot Rod subscription for 3 years. 2 months later this is attached to the cover my magazine. "As fellow motorheads, we're thrilled to announce that starting Spring 2024, we're charging ahead with plans to enrich your Reading experience like never before. Here's how it works; Instead of the conventional twelve issues Per year, we're stuffing heaps more in-depth and high-quality Content into four gorgeous collector-quality issue, worthy of any Car fan's coffee table. Plus! We invite you enjoy one free Year of MotorTrrend+, where you'll Stream exclusive shows, live motorsports, Mecum Auction, and access to our entire Digital magazine archive. Value of $54.99 No strings, just unlimited fun. Go to MotorTrend.com/HotRod/QuarterlyOffer To register for free. What are you waiting for? Ready set GO! -The Hot Rod Crew" I'm not real happy with quarterly instead of monthly issues, but we'll see. I went to MotorTrend.com/HotRod/QuarterlyOffer and registered for this "free year" I received a transaction number, but was never asked to create a User name or password. When I go to MotorTrend+ and use my email address As my user name (as per Motor Trend's customer dis-service) and click forgot Password they say that they have sent an email with password reset instructions. I've tried this 3 times and never have received any thing (yes I checked my spam) I called Hot Rod, they are no help at all. I spent the better part of a day back and forth with MT help chat, they know even less! I asked for a phone number to call and told that they don't phone support.

It's almost unwatchable. The entire show has ads for other MT shows. They're showing something on a car and it's covered up by their ads.

Getting tired of being in the middle of watching a series and at the end of an episode the app sometimes changes to a completely different series that isn't even in My Stuff.

I have been watching this channel for years. They have had a bunch of innovative and unique programs. Enjoy the British based programs since I get to see things we don't have in the states. Builders and repair shops doing real work are the things I like. Lately they have moved towards Roadkill and a bunch of other programs of young crazy guys. These programs suck. I do not watch motortrend for days at a time due to programing of this crap; I have been watching it less and less. I anticipate eventually not watching it at all if Roadkill take over the programing.

I love reading Motor Trend magazine, but their website is poor. It is not laid out in a way that it should be. They need to either stick with a themed magazine format, or a the "select the car/topic/item you're interested in" format that every other website uses. I would assume that 90% of readers visit their site to read the news, or to read their car reviews. The news section is chronological and works well, however the car reviews section is woeful. There are no consumer ratings (Edmunds.com is the winner for that) and the car reviews are behind the times compared to other blogs and even magazines like Car and Driver.

Motor Trend seems to be a site built by mid level managers, with the true car enthusiast writers and editors relegated to editorial copy and with no say in marketing. Not the best setup.
