AROnline has been driving cars and reviewing them since 2001 – here are the important verdicts of some very interesting cars along the way. AROnline covers classics, moderns and new cars, from a uniquely British perspective, even if the cars we cover have been built overseas at times.

Mike Humble has recently spent a week behind the wheel of the newly-facelifted Jaguar XE. Here’s what the big fella found, and it’s fair to say he liked it… The […]
Mike Humble has recently spent a week behind the wheel of the new MG HS. Here’s what the big fella found, and he wasn’t disappointed… MG Motor UK: it’s been […]
MG has been on a bit of journey in the UK since we last checked in with the company. Now an importer and without Longbridge as its centre of operations, […]
In a world crammed with all-new electric SUVs and small cars, produced by an industry which increasingly talks about tackling climate change, sustainability and the move towards vehicles that consume […]
Mike Humble spends a week with a Honda Civic – the sister model to the HHR-shape Rover 400, which ended its life as the Rover 45 and MG ZS. This […]
Streetwise was conceived to entice younger buyers back behind the wheel of Rover products, and cash in on the boom in leisure-orientated vehicles. It might not have been a hit […]
We take a sideways look at some of the UK’s most forgotten home-built cars. The Rover Streetwise was years, almost decades ahead of its time. Didn’t know that, did you? […]
You may recall a while ago we posted about the possibility of a DVD being produced based on the times, trials and tribulations of Rover’s swansong – the R40 – […]
AROnline takes a rather special ADO16 for test – after a quick spin, Keith Adams feels the need to espouse the virtues of the Vanden Plas Princess. Yet again… Vanden […]
A few months ago in Warwickshire, Roverfest celebrated 50 years of the Rover V8 engine. John Clancy attended the event and has subsequently produced yet another high quality DVD filmed over […]
Mike Humble Here’s yet another one of those car birthdays that makes you feel old. Ford’s medicine to a customer base that still mourned the passing of Cortina came along thirty years ago. The old […]
The NEC Motorshow in 1998 was a vitally important event for Rover and Jaguar. Both companies launched brand new cars – and, in both cases, they were designed the way they were […]
Sporting pretenders? Introduction They might be unfashionable now, but diesel cars have been on a huge adventure in recent years. The time when cars fuelled by the black pump were slow, noisy […]
Keith Adams Following my recent blog about the Citroen C5 bemoaning what appears to be the beginning of the end of the traditional ‘Dad car’, it’s good to know that Skoda […]
The Jaguar F-Pace seems to be selling well within weeks of going on sale. You see them everywhere, a clear indicator that Jaguar is building cars that buyers want. Question is, as […]
Once upon a time, Citroën launched the DS3, and found it had a huge hit on its hands. But then its parent company, PSA, decided the DS name was so good […]
The Jaguar XE has already established itself as a front-running challenger in the company car market, taking sales from the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class in a way that […]
Five years on from launch, the Range Rover Evoque has been tweaked and fitted with JLR’s impressive Ingenium turbodiesel. Is it still the must-have crossover in the premium sector? We […]
The 6 is dead – long live the GS. MG has announced the slow-selling 6 is to be dropped from the UK model range, but it’s not all bad news. At the launch […]
The estate car is dead… Long live the Sports Tourer. Vauxhall has recently extended its CoTY 2016 award-winning Astra range with the addition of some all-new load-luggers, but are they worthy of the […]
The GT86’s a brilliant sports coupe, which costs the same as a mid-range Ford Focus. It has reasonable performance, that makes you work for it, fun handling and interesting looks. In short, it’s the 2010s equivalent of the MGB GT… […]
Jaguar’s range is expanding agreeably – and although the F-Pace and XE have both stolen the limelight recently, the 2015 XF is a vitally-important kingpin to the company’s future success. The all-new aluminium platform that underpins the range is fundamental to the XF, and helps explain why it hit the market less than a year after the XE did. Such things would never have been possible in the Jaguar of old. […]
Anyone who knows Keith Adams might be a little surprised at this choice of Unsung Hero, especially considering the chequered history he has with A-Series Maestros. However, despite the dramas, […]
