AutoCar has better articles than the boring Overdrive's.

since that Fat Editor resigned, its became "not so good" kind of magz.

some "First Drive" articles are lame in Overdrive.

in Articles dept., TopGear is really GOOD.

but not much Indian Coverage.

I like gloss... TG... OD... Bike... Car...

But 4 u... AutoCar might suffice...

Autocar India is the best automobile mag in india. I have every issue ever printed. It simply rocks!

 

[ssk_the_gr8]

so u'll say that i should go with autocar??

TopGear.. all the way...

Autocar and TopGear ..... for me...

Autocar without second thoughts ,havent read top gear so dunno about it but when it comes to overdrive v/s autocar ...Autocar FTW!!!!!!!

 

[ssk_the_gr8]

so i guess it 'll be auto car

but one thing i like abt overdrive is that it has a very good news section & it gives good coverage to motogp.....but autocar is better in all other things.....

autocar is more proffessional than the amatuer overdrive and thier boring article...

mark my word....if u are going to spend money on a auto mag...spend it on autocar...

they are really worth than thier counter part/...

I'm a die hard fan of HORMAZD SORABJEE since the days he used to write for Auto India..I used to read Indian Auto in the early '90s,post '96 I used to read Auto India and Car & Bike International.Been a subscriber of Auto India until very recently.Their quality has now dropped big time.I believe in the year 2000 Car & Bike International changed to Overdrive but they retained the editor Mr.Adil J. Darukhanawala.

Well, HORMAZD SORABJEE left Auto India and went on to setup Autocar India...its costly but very good comprehensive magazine.

I started with indian auto in 1996,switched to auto india in 1997 and then overdrive in 1998.Overdrive was quite a good mag tilll its editor adil left.Still it is only one of the few mags in india which provide so much of tech data in their road tests.However autocar(1999) is much better and provides good content.
Top gear is a shameless copy of top gear uk and does not provide good info about the indian cars and bikes.However wht I would recommend is car india and bike india.These two are seperate mags started by adil former editor of overdrive and are very good in both international and indian coverage.Everything from the paper quality,photography and content(this month they have taken a bentley to the arctic circle) are very good.Both provide jargaon busters in every issue.Another mag i would recommend is buisness standard motoring which is a very entertaining mag and it has some auto articles which you will never find in any other mag and here even international reviews are by indians.this mag really instigates motoring in your blood.Believe me buy car india and buisness standard motoring this month and you will not regret buying them.Pm me after you finish reading these on how u liked these.
