Depends I guess. Print magazines still have some use, but now mostly for the premium segment where nice pictures are important, for those atas people to feel good.

But yeah, otherwise have to adapt to the times.

Have. I still subscribe to modern classics magazine. My frens also got magazine subscriptions, but similarly niche / specialised topics. 

Sad that torque is going away. The last of the OG quality sg car mag.

The only time I've read a magazine recently was when i was waiting for my mum at NUH last year. When what i thought would be a 1-2 hr wait stretched to 4 hrs and I had to stop using my phone to save battery life

SPH quite jialat now. They closed a lot of magazines recently.

Even Torque also closing shop end of the year.

I think its not closed shop but digitalised 

else it would be wasted..

their driving events and invites were quite good or better than MCF

I am OK if SPH shuts down all departments and its REITS investments, but please leave sgcarmart alone.

No sgcarmart, means no MyCarForum

No MyCarForum = cold turkey

SPH management is aware that they took too long to go digital and has lost the race. SPH is lucky that they have strong funding from Temasek Holdings.
