It’s ALIVE! Sorry, I just had to do it. If you had been here for the tumultuous journey that led to the birth of our very first magazine app, you’d understand. After months of late nights and frustrations, here it is, with a great sigh of relief, Driven+ Magazine #0 for the iPad. The version for Android is set to follow soon.
What’s Driven+ Magazine, then? Simply put, it’s an interactive magazine talking all things cars, which means news, reviews, features and stories about your fave subject, presented in an electronic mag-styled format. There’s plenty of unique content, stuff you won’t find on the website.
It behaves like a printed magazine, so you don’t need a constant Internet connection to enjoy the read. Unlike a printed magazine that you buy off the newsstand, however, Driven+ Magazine is totally interactive, which means there’s so much more content (read: pictures and videos) for you to uncover. And speaking of price, Driven+ comes to you at a low, low price of FREE.
To kick things off, we review the Audi A8 L and the Porsche Panamera. Also, we took the new Porsche 911 for a spin to see if it was all that Zuffenhausen claimed it to be – the best 911 ever. Then, read Paul’s thoughts on the Range Rover Evoque while he was Down Under.
And finally, our big one. We pitted the Audi A6, BMW 520i, Infiniti M25 and the Lexus GS250 against each other in a no-holds shootout. Pick our brains to find out which looked better and which interior we thought was the most luxurious. Then we floored the accelerator through one of Malaysia’s most twisted and scenic mountain roads; did the cars survive? Find out which came out on top.
Don’t wait. Find an Internet access and start downloading. If you’re travelling back from your hometown, it could well be your best way to kill time while getting stuck in traffic.
And, of course, tell us what you think of our effort. Send feedback whether constructive criticisms or plenty of praises to [email protected]. Thank you, and enjoy.

i phone perhaps?
What a great mag. Autocar, Car and Torque and already pissing in their panties worried that their sales would drop. Good work guys. What a beautiful layout and superb content.
This new magazine will be a success because of me. This is because the site became a success because of my comments in the many articles. I am glad I am contributing to the success of your magazine.
Android version asap pleaseeeee
free or paid?
if paid, sigh…. gotta spend money. come paultan.org can read for free.
sorry, i missed out that it’s free.

should have done for android first then ipad…..ios losing esteem big time…btw is this a one time thing or a mnthly publication???
Android is coming very soon, we’re just finalising the page adjustments, since iPad is 4:3 and a lot of Android tablets are 16:9 aspect ratio.
It’s monthly.

So.. is this the reason Hafriz left Autocar?
No mate, Chris is heading the magazine.
I’m here full-time with the website :)
Good job! I hope the team can continue making the mag for free. Also, if possible, please post the review in both paultan and the mag, just like what Engadget is doing with their Distro magazine.
If all the good reviews only go to the mag and if the mag happened to become paid magazine, i will be first to stop visiting paultan, for I am a loyalty visitor for the past i dunno, 7 to 8 years maybe.
Great job, but how bout iPhone?
Just downloaded the app and it looks nice from initial impressions. Only thing is that the issue is 540mb. Any way to reduce the size?
Well done. Cant wait to download it when i get home.
Paul, any comment for i-phone, pls. As this is my only mobile mean of communication.
will driven+ article also available in paultan.org like the “Executive Decision” shootout ?
Sorry, i don’t own any ios / android device. Just old an trusty desktop PC.
Or JAVA based app perhaps ?
Maybe they could have it ready on something like Adobe Digital Editions or Kindle for desktop? That will be great too.
Downloaded. Keep up the awesome work!
Excellent read. Beautiful pictures, crisp looking text, user friendly maneuvering, relevant content without being too preachy. Nice!
Downside, files are pretty large.
Give is the Android version already
