What's the best Porsche Magazine?
#17
Without doubt Excellence is the superior magazine with the best balance of Porsche coverage and easily the most objective view. Just read the Editorials from each magazine to get a flavour. Excellence is usually critical and inquisitive where the English magazines seem to suck-up to Porsche and the community more... Still, I get 'em all anyway!

Excellence is my choice. What's really amazing about it is that its layout is nearly identical to Bimmer - I think they're sister magazines - but Excellence is better-written, has superior photographs, more in-depth articles, and more technical analyses. Definitely the better choice between marque magazines.
My order of my magazine preferences goes: Evo (UK), Car (UK), Autocar (UK), Autoweek, Excellence. The US buff books (C&D, R&T, etc) can be fun to read, but don't provide news as quickly as the weeklies and aren't as well-written as the UK monthlies.

Christophorus is the factory magazine, I believe. So it would reason that it be slightly pro-Porsche I really enjoy excellence. Less of the new car reviews and more of cars that have been modified or restored by enthusiasts. 911 & Porsche World is also a good read. My favorite is probably the 356 Registry magazine. Not sold on newstands and featuring only 356's (which I unfortunately do not own yet), but lots of club pictures of their events. With Pano, GT Porsche and Total 911, I guess we're lucky to have so many to choose from to fit our taste. However, my favorite non-Porsche magazine is Autoweek. Gotta love a car magazine that comes every week

Otherwise, I think Excellence is the best, Pano somewhat interesting, Christophorus a manufacturer promotional piece, slightly interesting but full of advertising for expensive jewelry and other stuff I can't afford.
