My parents have subscribed pretty much since it started.
I would say 30+ years ago, it was good.

My parents took Which when it first came out. I could be wrong (it is
after all a long time ago) but I would have put the start of Which some
time in the late 50s with Motoring Which not later than the early 60s.

I was put off Motoring Which by its first choice of best Buy - VW
Beetle. If I remember the timeline correctly that would have been the
1200 model with a reputation for poor handling and poisoning its
occupants with exhaust gases from the heater if it couldn't kill its
occupants in a more conventional manner. A car widely advertised at the
time as being reliable enough to be driven flat out (70mph) all day
which is not exactly surprising given the puny 34 bhp available.
