Taxes? What taxes???????

 

A bit of feedback.

The good:
Great photos, crisp and showcased many aspects which did a great job highlighting the stories. The interior shot of the Volvo was particularly impressive. To the untrained eye, it may seem as though no one else was at the event, and you had an exclusive shot. Great job cropping and coloring.
The stories were well written and flowed well. The tire article had many interesting points; the Q5 article has a very description and imaginative word selection. All and all, a good read, which I would pick up again… with a few tweaks.

The not so good:
I was left wanting more from all the stories I read. The tire story did not have any recommendations on brands, I was forced to "do further research" heck if I wanted to do that, I wouldn’t have picked up your article. Make recommendations, inform people of success stories and failures.
The ice driving story left me wanting more, who won, what cars were there? What was a good finishing time, and a bad finishing time? Why did that person win? What was advice the experts had besides "experience counts."
The Volvo story left me wanting more, impressions were great, the car did what it should, yet there was a recommendation, would you buy one? How does it compare to other vehicles in its class? Cost of ownership? It seems there was so much creative writing I did not get much of an opinion, everything was flower coated.
The Q5 story, you guessed it, left me wanting more... Once again, how does it compare to others in its class (beyond the brief X5 remark). You shared some great first impressions, but how did those impressions stand up after comparing to a few other vehicles.
I did not read your playing with light story.

All and all, it was a good read, I would have set it down mid way through because of the theme had I not wanted to get through most it to offer feedback. So, offer opinions don’t flower coat everything, make the reader excited, not through verbose flowery writing but through actual comparisons they can take back to their enthusiast friends. RE the Q5 article, I could not use this magazine to defend the opinion "the Q5 is better than the X3." If you want to write to a technical bunch, then be technical, the only mention of the engine was its growl. I was disappointed by this.

Hopefully I am not coming off too harsh, but there are just too many alternatives out there. I live in CO, so I appreciate the stories and correlation to my location.
