The car sites do a pretty good job. Car and Driver was the best, as far as editorial writing went, but their really good writers either got old and retired or were let go. Now there's only one or two left who know how to write interestingly. Recently C/D hired a lady editor-in-chief with no car experience. I could see where that was taking readers, therefore I wouldn't advise anyone to subscribe. Even though they practically give away subs. I hope it works out for them, but print magazines face a tough marketplace.
FWIW, some C/D reports are on line. Along with subjective impressions, test data is fairly thorough--you can download test sheets that cover relevant acceleration and handling data. Or at least you could. I haven't checked that lately.
But those were the glory days of the magazine. I actually held a personal moment of silence when I learned that Yates had beamed up. John Phillips was the last of the wild bunch, and I understand he was 'let go' a few months back.
