In the spirit of posting older reviews, LOL ... Mathieu @ Car Question in Quebec City did a series on the Type R last year. I think he was maybe the first 'pro' reviewer to talk about gear grind. I've posted the English links below, but French and Portugese(!) are available. As an aside, his snow tire videos - mostly in French - are awesome.

Canadian preview of the Type R Prototype :

Type R review:
1st Part: Exterior Walkaround (Canadian-spec Type R)

2nd part: Interior Walkaround

3rd part: Specs and Road handling

4th part: Compare car Honda Civic Type R vs Volkswagen Golf R vs Subaru WRX STI and more!

5th part: The good and the bad!

6th Part: Acceleration test | 0-60mph / 0-100kmh

(Text about a 7th part is in the comments, but it appears that it was combined with the 6th part)

The Seat Leon Cupra is like a Spanish front wheel drive VW Golf R. Cupra is becoming a stand alone marque, a performance arm of Seat.

Article detailing the design decisions and if more power is left with the existing turbo - with assistant lead power train engineer for the Type-R

“So when asked if the larger turbo has more in it, he replied, “of course [there’s more power], however, I can’t say [how much exactly]”. “We did many, many tests in R&D. So we have good guarantee into the market.””
