Get the new issue of EVO Magazine
Guys,
This is a U.K. magazine, probably the best automotive mag you can buy in the U.S.
The issue I am talking about has a long term review wrap-up of an Evo 8 MR FQ340. They put 15k hard miles on the car (wore out Advans in 4-5k miles, brakes in 15k miles), and loved every minute. The writer of the article compares the Evo to the 911/Caterham 7/Lotus Elise as a car that is unique to drive in this day of cookie cutter cars.
Also, they ran the car on the dyno, was way over the manufacturer rating in torque an HP.
They had nothing negative to say about the car except cost of ownership and cheapo dash. They did say that they couldn't find a better tire than the OEM Advans, and they tried 3 other brands in that 15k miles!
The magazine has a red Porsche Cayman on the cover. Get it, you wont be disappointed

EVO, Top Gear, and Car are both really good magazines from the UK. Max power is good if your looking for soft **** with a few cars and a lot of sh*t boxes mixed in.

Not an only Evo magazine it is all cars from Europe and the article is only about half a page long and not really worth the $9.99 cover price of the mag at Borders. I read it in the store.
