    Yea i think i'm gonna get it more often too. PVW is just turning into a pretty pictures mag full of absolutely useless drivel. The articles are all the same and offer no real insight into what is really involved in doing a serious build, and most of the writing is of school boy standard.

    At least GOLF+ has some technical tips etc.

    Do you buy Playboy for the articles too?

    The writing in Golf+ is a lot worse, its like Hot4's for VW's.

    I gotta agree with walshydub here. When Fabian was editor of Golf+, the mag was pretty decent. A nice change to the glam (i.e. PVW) with more tech articles and such every month. But now with the new editor, there has been some questionable rides being featured and it seems that some articles weren't even given a once over before publishing; I've spotted way too many grammar/punctuation/spelling mistakes. Yes, PVW does it too, but not to the extent that Golf+ has recently.

    Maybe a few years back I would've appreciated tech articles more but nowadays with forums and such, finding mechanical help is much more easier. I'm not on every single VW forum so I'd rather see feature cars and photos and re-caps of show events in the magazines I buy, and PVW does that perfectly.

    Spot on mate. I stopped buying Golf+ after they featured a German MK2 with nasty airbrushed graphics & a leather(!) carpet...the owner had to wear special slippers to drive the car. Gotta draw the line somewhere.
