Motor Magazine - BFYB 2010

Not sure if this is a repost....

Had a quick squiz at the latest MOtor Magazine with this years BFYB test.

Good result for VW. Golfs fill two of the three top positions. I leave it for you to go read the actual results

Its in the magazine. I just subscribed to it. Took the plunge cause I have been buying it (religiously some years) at the newsagent. So I did an online search and got a discount code.

$66.95 for 1 year, delivered.

This should be my first issue!

I think the magazine should be available in the shops as of today, i'll head out today and buy it.

They don't post much info at all, there is a piss poor portal on the ninemsn website (a true abortion when it comes to internet sites) for the magazine but it usually has next to no info on anything. A scan of at least the cover and contents page would be a good start. I bought it for the first time in years to read the R vs Evo X review but can't say it was worth the cover price. Only thing which might be ok is their long term drive of an R. They previously had a GTI and I think the last issue mentioned they'd be getting an R.

Last time I was at the airport I bought a copy of the UK TG mag (also with the R in it), cost twice the price but its bloody huge. Its a far more interesting read than the aussie mags.

o i c....

i bought the same copy actually.... for exactly the same reason - R v evo.... not that much content in the mag itself i thought, i did like the fact they said the gti held its own aginst the R and evo (although i would, i bought one so i need to justify the $$ everyway i can!) price v performance that is

will keep an eye out for the latest one if golfs 2 of the top 3 though........

I just picked up a copy, they have already taken delivery of their R.
