I find 'Street Machine Fords' is just easier to read and i usually feel confident about the information im ready is correct...
where as i have occasionally found little mistakes in the other 2 ... i mean i enjoy them all but overall it would be Street Machine Fords |

Undeniably, PFM is the only choice for perusers of Performance Ford propoganda.
One cannot doubt the credentials or journalistic integrity of a publication which has the balls to list MY NAME, giving me the dubious honour of what is arguably the slowest podium finish in recent Australian street drag racing history (in a field of 3).

I think Street Machine Fords is the best mag of the lot. The other 2 I flick thru at the newsagency but rarely buy (used to buy PFM every month tho).
The Issue with Trick & Manswetto has been out for a while now tho... |

I didn't vote. I buy them all and think they are all great! After years of the only Ford magazines on the market being rehashed old issues, it's great to have 3 different new Ford magazines on the market.

None, sorry to say it but i dislike the "ricer style" of streetmachines now, and the wildly inaccurate articles, and dissporportionate amount of pictures and ads in those mags, and not enough good "meat and veg" technical articles.
I prefer Australian Musclecar Magazine, solid content, excellent text, good tech articles and great historical stuff.

Gotta say i'm a fan of PFM the most, due to alot of cars are recognisable. Not a fan of Street Fords explict content, but good feature cars. Street Machine Fords is awesome but doesn't come out enough

Performace Ford is my choice for the Ford magazines(buy them all though). Street Fords has too much XR6 turbo in it for me. My favourate mag that is not all about Fords is Australian Muscle Car.

I buy which ever one has cars or articals that have interest for me But every since I have been a member of ford forums like this one I have found little use for magazines .
But in saying that I still flick though all of them and buy ones that have something worth my while . |

Definently Street Fords. Very good magazine, easy read. Street machines is the mag with the explicit material and adds for violence against woman.

Street Machine Fords has the best mix of feature cars and tech. Street Fords has too much riced up XRT's and PFM needs to remove some of the Ford press releases. Takes up way too much space. AMC is always a very well put together publication with excellent historical info.

I read them all my favorite would be Performance ford.
Street fords looks a bit like fast fours this issue (no 11) with the model on the front cover and leaning all over the feature car.

In general I find too much misinformation and rubbish talk in the magazines, articles where your reading and you go WTF, is this guy retarded? just got sick of reading crap, used to buy many mags now I just flick thru look at the pics, maybe if there is an interesting article I buy it, but usually not. Decided its better to spend the money on the car rather than reading about other peoples.

Street Machine lost me as a buyer a couple of years back. The crop of new mags aren't bad, they're just not as appealing anymore. Not enough old school or real street cars in my opinion. Ed

I always get PFM and Street Machine Fords, I find if you get all three that you get too many repeats of the same cars.
Street Machine fords is great cause of its good layout and I find it has a decent amount of tech. PFM tends to feature cars that SM doesn't seem to consider which adds to the variety. I mainly buy these mags for the tech side of things, thats why when it rarely comes out I get Performance Buildup's, even though it has rice burner's in they have been running consecutive articles on clevo upgrades and combo's with dyno figures for years. |

street machine all the way for me, used to buy PFM but not much anymore....street fords is the worst ford mag on the planet IMO, i mean im 19 with good eyesight but some of the articles that are written in white on a sky background is just silly but the main 2 things that me off and they all do it is ads in the middle of articles and damn ring tone ads.
