I've read and watched lots or reviews of this car and it is number 1 in the Hot Hatch standings with most sources ; Auto Express 5th Gear etc.

It has been engineered to be easier to live with, so a little softer, but in real world use that's what counts. How many get thrashed round tracks, most get polished and cherished.

I have read most of clarksons books, bought his dvds and haven't missed a top gear episode for over ten years but I think he's wrong here, way off the mark, the new type R is an improvement, especially in the looks department the old one looks like a brad van.
