What is the best English translation of the Bhagavad Gita?
The new translation by Feuerstein seems great. What do you think of it?
Is the Feuerstein really the good scholarly edition that is said it is?

Yes, Feuerstein did a great job. Not a smooth or easy read, but there's a wealth of content.
I read the Norton Critical Edition and thought it was good. Can't compare it with other translations though.

Depends on what you want to read it for
Do you want to read it for its literary value and prose? Probably Feuerstein from what I've heard (havent read it)
Do you want to read it for spirituality and for its actual purpose? As It Is.
