Sir,
I am a great lover of cars and its technologies.My aim in life is to make my career in this booming automobile industry.For that,i keep myself updated about the recent advancements in the upcoming new models through various magazines and websites.Till now i have got a taste of every car magazines available in India.When i came to know about auto bild’s launch,i purchased it on the same day to check it out.But,sorry to say,i am displeased with it in various fields.
First of all,when i opened my copy,the pages inside fell off from the cover page as one of the pins was missing and the other could not hold the pages.As you cover the magazine with a resealable plastic cover,it was not possible to notice the fault in the book shop itself.Secondly,the CD which was inside,didn’t function through the VCD player.When i tried to play it in my PC,my PC got hanged with an error report.When i tried to explore it,it didn’t play either.I was very much annoyed and irritated.Then,your road tests are quite brief and dont give the full idea and details about the machines,unlike other car magazines.Also your price is also not worth it.When Autocar India was launched,it was priced at Rs.25 only having about 100 pages and exploring the spotlight car from bumper(F) to bumper(R).If the extra price is for the VCD,then you should not have added a FREE word to it.The only thing i liked about your magazine are the pics.You provide the best scoop pics of the new born cars and the highest in number also.
I hope you would pay heed towards the inconvinience caused to me and act accordingly.I also wish to see some improvements in the substance and materials in your articles.
Wishing you good luck,
Abhijit Hota
