Magazine Subscriptions
What magazine(s) give a Maxima owner and enthusiast the most useful and up-to-date product and installation information? Also, what are the most fun to read and look at?
Any suggestions welcome...

I like Car and Driver myself. I'm not into Motor Trend or Road and Track too much. I think they test too many super cars IMO (well everytime I look through the issues 80% of it is Ferraris and Porsches and stuff). Don't get me wrong I love reading about Ferraris and stuff, but Car and Driver tends to write up on many different types of vehicles.
Ranging from econobox cars to sedans to sports cars. My biggest complaint is Brock Yates uses words that are so freakin long and odd, that you have to pull out the dictionary just to understand what he is saying.
My complaint is that Car & Driver seem to be a bit slower than the other mags. Sometimes Road and Track get blistering times that are just freakin amazing, it's either a typo or a big lie.
A few years back Road & Track did a comparsion test of the Acura NSX v.s. Honda S2000. Road & Track claimed the NSX did 0-60 in 4.8 or so (can't remember exactly) and the S2000 (get this) goes 0-60 in 4.3!! Now that can't be right, a S2000 with a skilled driver can reach 5.3-5.5, if he's good. Most range from 5.5 to 6.5.
While Car & Driver maybe slower sometimes in car tests, I much rather have a few tenths off than have some rediculous time IMHO.
One other reason I don't like Motor Trend and Road & Track is the layouts they use. I think it maybe just because I am use to Car & Driver though, I dunno. Just my opinion.
