Many libraries provide online access to Consumer Reports via a library card. I'm able to read CR at home - I just have to login to my library's web site first and go from there.

That said, I rarely bother to consult CR's reports any more. I've tried to use their reports in the past, but manufacturers update product lines too quickly, making the CR info outdated even before it's published. Even if you do have a current report, their reviews sample a very small segment of whatever market they're reporting on, and even then they tend to overlook things I feel are important. And while I do appreciate their work with cars, I only need that info once every... eight years?

Sorry, Consumer Reports... you're going to have to make some big changes before I pay for a subscription.
