That is a great shame, but I'll admit I'm not completely surprised.

They reviewed the new STi compared to the VXR Insignia a few issues ago and the test read as though the author was writing it by using the factory's advertising literature rather than actually driving the cars. That got me wondering a bit at the time.

I suppose the main problem is there's not anything much happening with new Imprezas these days (although of course the BRZ seems well received), or Hondas, or Evos come to that (now a discontinued model), so they were catering for a diminishing market.

I've had two mags from a 2 year subscription too, shame

Always been a pretty ropey mag if i'm honest, so many mistakes, typos etc but still bought it as theres not a lot else out there dedicated to Subarus....

Not surprised, the mag was crap anyway. Had more adverts in it than anything else.

I got stung for a 1 year subscription and only received one copy of the last 'Scooby' magazine that went bust

Just love companies that continue to collect monies right up to the point they decide it's time to jump ship

Would never subscribe to a niche magazine these days.

They had a habit of getting stuff wrong didn't they?
I noticed a few issues with mistakes in, this one
in particular, none of the right pictures was put
with the right text. I'd be a bit miffed if my car was
in this particular feature:-

I only subscribed for the first 4 copies and cancelled afterwards. Crap mag, crap write-ups, loads of simple mistakes and some chavved up Subaru's creeping in as the marque nosedived further.

It was nice having a niche magazine but it was never going to last.

They emailed me a couple of weeks ago to be a feature car, oh well, I'll contact JP when the car's finished instead

Still, go some of my subscription left but I can't remember how much

I hope anyone with a subscription gets their money back; that's the real issue here.

If you paid subscription on your credit card you will be able to claim it back from the credit card company

I'm not sure I think PayPal will be the same as it goes through MasterCard /visa

Debit card holders are the ones that lose out as 3/4 p in the pound isnt much TI get back and you will wait a year

Never pay by debit card for anything always credit card so your protected
