Title: Golf+ vs PVW
Post by: marcus123 on 12 August 2004, 19:50

PVW is sh!tting all over golf+,

great feature cars,
ive got to say i found golf+ severly lacking this month :-\

Yea vix I used to read the golf a few years ago. My misses asked me if I wanted a mag to read so I asked for the golf but she said she couldn't find it so bought me PVW in stead. That would explain why she couldn't find it then ;D. I wasn't that impressed with PVW really but the mk1 G40 looks a nice car exept for the colour. I love those ATS classics its running on as well.

having been buying both for years. Golf+ has good cars and is much more technical. PVW have the 'best' big money cars but are full of sh!t most of the time. They seem obsessed with trying to generate the latest 'look'. I mean that lupo of theirs with ronal teddies, loads of stickers and now an inflatable whale on the roof - feck off

I usually get both and thought the new format of the Golf+ was initially quite good. But now, it may tail off a bit from the usual golf to incorporate more of the VW/Audi family as a whole. If this happens to  great degree, then I think they may do themselves more harm than good. After all, the magazine is called "The Golf", and not "The Golf and every other car in the family". So who other than Golf owners and enthusiasts will even give it a second look, let alone buy one and check itout.
Never really rated PVW, as JV says - it is where the big money is spent, also it concentrates to much on the stateside scene.

I have subscribed to VW Motoring for ages - its got a good mix of everything. (although I think I have read the ?200 challenge articles so avidly that they are giving me ideas  :D)

Haven't read the Golf in ages, but I have read PVW recently, and frankly I was disappointed  :( too much bling imo

so ppl which one should i go n buy then pvw or golf+

buy both ffs, there only ?3.70 each :P

Jv sums it up well,

on the whole i much prefer the Golf+, but my point was that this month i thought the PVW was v good, and the Golf+ was average.

thats all folks :D

Title: Re: Golf+ vs PVW
Post by: Boris on 16 August 2004, 21:13

Me? Controversial? surely not!
I think unleashing me in your forum was a mistake!! I'm enjoying the freedom ;D you gonna kiss my arse in there now then? ?;) lol

Ronal teddies look just like they sound. Instead of spokes, the rim sits around a big teddy bear. Would look great on a kiddies pram, but not on a car :-\

Neither, There both boaring, So i tend to avoid car mags all togeather now and just read sidewalk or tranworld skateboarding mags. However when i do buy a car mag, i buy somthing like BANZI or Fast car, Purly because banzi has 10000200203BHP Skylines in it, And fast car has some ok cars, boobs and is funny. But im yet to find a mag i really really like.
Title: Re: Golf+ vs PVW
Post by: marcus123 on 17 August 2004, 10:59
Banzai does look like a pretty interesting mag ;)

just so people dont get me wrong here, i think on most months the Golf+ is absolutly bang on, and i find PVW a poor second.
this month tho i think that PVW is ok.

however, last night i had a quick scvan thru my old PVW's.
JV is rite, they try to hard to be at the cutting edge of style in the VW scene, which i think is sad.

can anyone remember the Wraps they did a couple of monts ago?

terrible, i think the editor is a bit of a Tw@t :D
