We often hear of magazines, websites, news articles, etc. who are accused of being biast against Ford and their products.
After looking at numerous media outlets, who do you think regulary gives the best reviews and opinions of Ford. I'm interested to hear your thoughts...

GoAuto is the only independent isn't it? The rest are owned by two companies... except autotrader which is Telstra - major shareholders of which are involved with the rest anyway.
GoAuto - if you don't think it's best, you haven't seen it! Their weekly pdf mailouts are well done too. I have no affiliation - just like it  http://goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.n...s?OpenDocument From the look of all your posts Cuey, almost every one is promoting Carsales links - you're clearly with the Carsales/Caradvice/Drive/Channel 9 etc side am I right? Hope you're not clicking your sites in the poll too! |

Personally I'd prefer an unbiased report giving me the good along with the bad.

The RACV mag isnt too bad .... and its free if you are a member! The latest one has the best of cars and is a very good read and what I beleive to be, very unbiased revues. Mondeo TDCI won best mid size too! Lexus takes out just about everything else.

go Auto seems to offer more real world ownership viewpoints on all cars as well as fairly up to date news. Drive tend to have more on Ford as a business related news, but then they are in that game first and foremost.
The people are changing down to smaller cars for petrol saving and environment stench permeates all of these too much. There is insufficient focus on the quality of the drive and ownership experience, resale enjoyment factors - how they stack up against competition and so on. Most of the articles these media write may as well be selling a fridge they seem too jaded and removed from real world buyers. |

Ok, sorry - thanks for clearing that up, just seemed odd...
Laminge/fmc351, thanks for the vote! Most of the news on our site is from other sources though (including Drive & GoAuto) and I can't guarantee it's not biased! With over 1000 Ford stories posted in the last year, there's hopefully something there for every blue-blooded individual... |

I dont care if a publication is not ford friendly, I just dont want to read some opinionated crap thats based on some stupid high school moto. Also comparing apples with apples helps.
