if you didn't see the cover you wouldn't have guessed it was a Max Power article. The CTR was rated 1 point higher, just for everyday usability. The Trophy got the thumbs up for all out fun factor. I'll scan it later :twisted:

got to question why a car with worse lock than the trophy, a more cramped cabin and higher servicing cost is more 'practical' or 'usable' but there you go.

Well my scanner is on the blink, so I took some photos. Mostly readable at full size.

Thanks Hyb, that'll be great. How's the S going? Saw a dark blue one like yours at Goodwood on Sunday (was that you), I love those things.
Old CTR, that's more like it, I thought it silly comparing those two. I'm glad my car didn't get the Max Power vote, less likely to get nicked by one of it's readers.

Nope wasn't me. Need some new rears at the moment, spent far too much time sliding on roundabouts

"With only 500 cars built for the UK, the Trophy carries a premium, but the tweaks - lighter alloys, a wider track and Recaro seats - are definitely worth the extra cash"
Another piece of journalistic excellence - didnt you miss something? What about a paragraph or even a sentence explaining the key difference between a Trophy and a standard 182 - the expensive race bred Sachs suspension?
Thats a glaring omission from the pages of Max Power this week and that howler last week from the AutoExpress or Autocar 'writer' about the Spax suspension on the Trophy.
Maybe its no longer a pre-requisite that you be knowledgable or interested in cars to be a motoring journo

Worthless article written by what is obviously someone who has no real knowledge of the cars.
How can you not mention anything about the suspension? From the description the car could just be a 182 with Recaros / Cup pack. Silly, silly write up.
Also they quote Parkers as estimating the Trophy at £8500 after 10,000 miles and one year. Right. A bit of proper journalism (i.e. research) will take all of 10 minutes to reveal this as inaccurate.
