Top Gear has a comparison review in print now

[DevonK]

Unfortunately it's only in the printed issue, not up on the web - there is a shorter review of the CTR as driven on British roads on their site though, which I have also linked to in the reviews thread.

In the comparison test, "The Seat Leon Cupra, Ford Focus RS and Volkswagen’s Golf R face off against the new Type R on gnarly Welsh B-roads". If anyone has the print edition, please get us the goods!

Thanks! I just ordered a physical copy of the magazine, which was 11.45 GBP / $14.76 USD, including shipping.

I'm sure there will be a head to head between Type R and Focus RS on motortrend soon also.

To sum up the article they love the Type R and it is their number one choice followed by the RS, R and Cupra last.

Looking into this, thanks....I think there's a local bookseller chain that carries it so hopefully it will be available here a bit cheaper than that.

Their H2H videos don't go to free release for several weeks though, they have a pay channel these days.

pretty sure you are right, but last time I did (forgot why) it ended up taking days to actually show up and be readable. (I'm guessing it's all my fault, lol)

There's an iOs app with a 30 day free trial that gives you access to the latest edition. I assume there's one for android, as well.

EDIT: well, I don't see any option for the free trial. Individual issues are $3.99, though.

Sure but the TG article's going to be much more in depth (18 pages). Only the Pobst contributions give the MT comparisons any real value.

Can you provide a link for the single issue at this price? I am not seeing it on TG's site - there the digital issue is 10.40 pounds. Maybe it's only for phones at that price.
