Subscribed to both for about 7 years now and i think performance ford has been a much better mag for about two and a half years the features they get have been excellent as is the technical features i think this has a lot to do with the editors where as fast ford was a beeter mag previously but especialy lately i think there features have been wank bar one or two most of there features at the mo seem like there all based on fast and furious but thats my oppinion only Fast ford now seem to be takeing a couple of P/F ideas on board but regardless to this ill still continue getting them both

Performance ford because I like the way or writing better. Last time I read fast ford it seemed like it was older people writing the articles. Could have changed but I would still take Performance Ford over Fast Ford.. and especially since they are Ł10 a magasine here

my 3 door is being featured in this months fast ford coming up on a guide to tuning the 3 door.they came and took the pics,but never contacted me since to say thanks or when it will be out or for a full spec on my car etc.i find that a bit poor.i will be seeing if performance ford will be interested in featuring my new sapphire when ive finished playing with it.watch fast ford prove me wrong now and there be a big thank you blah,blah via email on monday!!!!!or watch them have not used my car

its a pleasure having my cars in mags but it also helps them sell the magazine as without us,they would struggle.i even kerbed my recently refurb'd 18"comp mo alloy moving the car around for the pics-ouch!

Love the way Performance Ford is written, the technical articles and buying guides are f*cking brilliant

Still buy Fast Ford, but only cos it has loads of adverts in them and I like building a "wishlist" most of the time, the cars are not to my taste

I buy three : Performance ford, Fast Ford, and Classic Ford.

And rate them

Performance Ford
Fast Ford
Classic Ford.

All damned good mags, but Performance Ford has the edge.

Performance Ford, get that EVERY month, whereas I may get fast ford if i'm bored or there is a particular artical in it, that said I got FF this month and as far as i'm concerned it's just a carbon copy of PF...

Come on Fastford, be original, dont copy Performance ford, be Fastford. At leat they aint copying Fastcar anymore

I much prefer Performance Ford. I prefer the approach genrally really, nicer informal style, basic guides/cars and everything else in between. I find Fast Ford a bit boring other than a select few of the Fords they feature.

usually pf,

as at least the cars get timed, which i thinks the best way to prove the spec,

but as ff is now the same department as redline, there gona be timin most of their feature cars, as well as new staff, so should be back on the up.

but i only buy either if theres a feature or some thing i want to read, usually buy at least one of them a month.
