The RR does have more "class" but the AR is a heck of a lot more fun for the money and really offers an enjoyable ride. Quiet and respectable when you want it to be, and like a bat out of hell when you open it up.

As an American, the use of gloveboxes in British car reviews has always puzzled me. Most of us use our gloveboxes for registration/insurance papers, owner's manuals, small maintenance equipment (tire pressure gauge, screwdriver), and maybe sunglasses. If you live in a particularly high crime area, it's the default storage area for a gun too. Basically everything that should be concealed, but would still need to be in instant reach of the driver in an emergency. We'd never dream of using the glovebox for superfluous personal items like smartphones and water bottles, unless the glovebox is big enough for both essential and personal items, which it almost never is. So, since y'all use the glovebox as just another storage compartment, where does the stuff you need with you to drive go? Minus the gun of course, since that's illegal there.
@kraenk12

Sean Kurth Generalising much it seems,
@seankurth4371

Some people in America probably keep that stuff elsewhere. Those people are going to regret it when they get eventually get pulled over for some reason or another, and have to produce their papers from a place the police don't expect it to be while convincing the officer that it's not a gun. It would make sense to keep it under the center armrest as well, I suppose, but a lot of cars don't even have an enclosed storage compartment there, especially older cars and very cheap ones. Storage drawers under the seats are also getting rarer and rarer these days, as power seat mechanisms get more complex and take up more room. British car reviews, though (carwow, carbuyer, etc) act as if the glovebox is supposed to be big enough for personal items, and say it's a bad thing when the glovebox is inevitably not big enough. They test for it every time, and not once has the phone test or big bottle test ever worked. Of course it can't fit a water bottle, because that's not what the OEM intended it to be used for, it's not much bigger than it needs to be for the manual, the registration, and a tire pressure gauge. I'm sure not all British car reviewers do that, but the most popular ones on KZitem do, and I've rarely seen an American review even mention the glovebox unless there's something unusual about it.

The punch, the steering and the way it handles the road largely make up for the limited amount of space behind and the few dodgy plastic bits.

I bought a 280hp petrol model in 2019. I still have it. I still love it. It handles like a dream, 0-60 in less than 6 seconds, gearbox with the paddles is very responsive. Sure, the infortainment is a bit naff butr it has Apple Carplay / Android Auto so it really doesn't matter. It's an absolute workhorse, I use it for everything.

SUVs are so much more dangerous to other cars, so your point is invalid. You get to drive a bit more safely on the cost of others. Sounds great Also if everyone drives a SUV how is it safer? SUV vs SUV crashes have been proven to be more dangerous too. So even from looking at it that way, it doesn't make any sense

The Reliability Index figure is calculated as a combination of: - the number of times a car fails, - the cost of repairing it, - the average amount of time it spends off the road due to repairs - the average age and mileage of the vehicles we have on our books.

Lone-Wolf.... Like over 90% of the people, you are under the illusion the "S " in a SUV stands for " Sports Car " like performance in this type of high riding vehicle. No one in his right mind would buy a SUV for sports car like performance. SUVs were originally intended to transport jet skis, surfboards, dinghies, fishing gear, etc on a beach or offroad. The term SUV was first coined by Suzuki when they developed the open top Vitara. This vehicle was aimed at young outdoor " SPORTS LOVING" people who would need a 4 wheel drive to take their surfboards or a jet skis and drive onto the beach. ...or Skis up snowy mountains -- hence the essential roof rails. Original advertisement for the Vitara showed young couples with their Surfboards stacked on the back, or dragging boat or a jet ski on a beach. Toyota followed Suzuki with the RAV 4. Early utility vehicles like Land Rovers were too big, too expensive, and too industrial for general use. Hence Suzuki saw the market for a compact UV for young outdoor sports loving people. The main function of a SUV is the ability to transport a small boat on a trailer and go off road to your favorite fishing spot. A SUV is compact vehicle with more space than a car or hatchback ( boxy shape) , High ground clearance and a 4 wheel drive system with a low range ,locking gearbox. Anything less than that are known as Crossovers -- a cross between a wagon and a SUV - Wagon shaped body ( Qashqai, Tucson, and the like ) with a slightly increased ride height and an all wheel drive system ... but no LOW range locking gearbox. The S in the SUV stands for Utility Vehicle for " Sports Loving " people.

At the end of the day, so what if the front plate is on a side? So what if they haven't designed some plastic trim for it?

The perfect SUV; I want one badly. Well, there is one drawback. It has great handling, is an absolute pleasure to drive; RWD by default (a little power to the front axle when necessary, which is almost never); fabulous sounding 200 HP Italian petrol engine; 0-60 in 7.2 seconds, so quicker than my 5-series BMW, way quicker than my wife's Toyota Highlander; city mileage 30 mpg, hwy mileage 40+? Unbelievable... that they only send the gas guzzling 280 HP engine to America. Some people need 0-60 in 5.4 seconds and 28 mpg highway mileage. My wife doesn't.
