The 10 best compact crossover SUVs according to Consumer Reports

Compact crossover SUVs - like Toyota's RAV4 and Honda's CR-V - have grown into one of the most popular segments of the auto market. As the fuel economy and safety features in sport utility vehicles have improved in recent years, more and more car buyers have been opting for small SUVs over sedans and compact cars. A compact crossover SUV is a small sport utility vehicle that combines SUV features (like higher clearance and all-wheel or four-wheel drive) with sedan features (like a more compact size, smaller engine, easy handling, and fuel efficiency). Most newer compact crossovers are small, safe, and fuel-efficient enough to serve as daily drivers in the city and suburbs, but they also boast decent clearance and AWD or 4WD, so they can double as capable weekenders for dirt-road camping, light snow driving, and general outdoor recreation. Additionally, many compact crossover models now offer buyers a choice between a traditional and hybrid engine, and while the hybrid versions tend to be significantly more expensive, they can save drivers money on gas, especially during highway driving. And since most weekend getaways to remote areas begin with a long drive on a highway, this can be a big plus for those who plan to use their compact SUV for outdoor adventure.

But where can car buyers look for unbiased information about performance and reliability? One great resource is Consumer Reports, a nonprofit agency that has been testing and reviewing products for almost a century. Founded in 1936, Consumer Reports is a nonprofit firm that advocates for shoppers buy buying and testing products - including cars. The agency buys cars anonymously and at full price to prevent any sort of tampering or preferential treatment from the brands it reviews, and its auto experts put them to the test at a private driving course and automotive evaluation facility in Connecticut. Related: Consumer Reports: The product-testing nonprofit explained Additionally, CR surveys its millions of members annually about their own cars. Members answer questions about any issues they've encountered, as well as any maintenance or repairs they've had to pay for as a result. And since CR has been collecting survey data for decades, it's able to provide invaluable insights about how certain car models and model years tend to perform over time. Reliability scores based on member survey data are combined with real-world testing results to provide a holistic picture of each vehicle's reliability and performance.

Musk feud presents 'unprecedented' dynamic compared to past Trump disputes: expert

The ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, his one-time "special government employee," has brought an "unprecedented" dynamic compared to other famous disputes, long-time Democratic political strategist and Fox News contributor Jacques DeGraff said. After somewhat repeated rumblings from Musk about why he opposed a Trump-endorsed Republican spending package, Trump launched complaints about Musk and began firing back this week, including threats aimed at Musk's business revenue. "It's unprecedented, but the reality is that what makes it a singular moment in history is that no single figure has ever been able to say, 'I made a president and then (fell) out with that individual," DeGraff told Fox News Digital Friday. "There have been groups, there have been individuals who wanted to pretend that they did, but the record is clear. And, I mean, this man (Elon) brought his son into the Oval Office. He wore a hat and didn't wear a suit to the Oval Office. He clearly had carte blanche. … The president, in effect, did a Tesla ad in the Rose Garden … and now they've fallen out in life." Watch: Republicans Rally Behind Trump, Continue To Support Musk Amid 'Big, Beautiful' Brawl DeGraffe, who has been a political advocate and strategist for years, quipped that, ordinarily, "we would have to go to family court," adding "what's the court here?" Read On The Fox News App Trump is no stranger to quarrels with his staff. During his first term, his relationship soured with his National Security Advisor, John Bolton, and his press secretary, Anthony Scaramucci, after they diverged on different issues and publicly criticized Trump. But, for DeGraffe at least, this quarrel has "distinguished itself from anything in the past." One major difference he pointed to is the implications for both parties in this spat. Liz Peek: Five Critical Takeaways From The Epic Trump-musk Rumble "Tesla stock has dropped $150 billion, Trump stock has dropped but it also occurs at the same time as this legislation and so that is going to have – no matter how it turns out – it's going to have massive political and public policy implications for the country," DeGraffe said. "So this is no small dispute." DeGraffe also contended that this is "the first time" there has been a major deviation from Trump "from the MAGA side of the aisle." He suggested the split could be bad news for Trump and others who hope to see the GOP's budget package pass the finish line in its current form. "This major split will allow other players to take positions other than the party line, and it gives them room and comfort and cover in order to do so," DeGraffe suggested. "Will senators who follow Musk, or, better yet, disagree with Musk, face intensely funded primaries? "That's a consideration that everyone involved will have to take. … As a lifelong Democrat, I'm sitting with my bowl of popcorn saying, 'Go at it.' Because anything that slows this horrific legislation has got to be good news to the rest of the country."

"I am currently at the North Carolina State GOP convention, and this is not a topic of concern among activists," Woodhouse said. "No doubt it makes for funny and entertaining X posts, but the GOP faithful are laser-focused on growing the new diverse GOP/Trump winning coalition."Original article source: Musk feud presents 'unprecedented' dynamic compared to past Trump disputes: expert

Disneyland ride shuts down after car derails off track: Witness

The Brief A car ended up going off-track on one of the rides at Disneyland's Tomorrowland. The car derailment shut down the Autopia ride, a witness said. No injuries were reported in the incident. ANAHEIM, Calif. - A group of Disneyland guests were pulled from a ride after one of the cars derailed off track. What we know A video shared by social media user @Laughing_Place showed one of the cars at Autopia in the park's bushes and shrubs on Wednesday, June 4. According to the witness, the parkgoers who were in the other cars were evacuated from the ride as crews looked into the derailed car. The Tomorrowland attraction ended up shutting down for the afternoon, user @Laughing_Place said. What we don't know As of 3 p.m. on Wednesday, no injuries had been reported in the incident. FOX 11 is making calls to Disney for comment on the incident. The backstory Autopia is a family attraction that allows kids taller than 32 inches to hop on the ride. According to Disney's website, the cars are "equipped with front and rear bumpers and an undercarriage guide rail to safeguard your trip." Riders can also slow down by easing off the accelerator. Autopia was introduced with Disneyland Park's opening day in 1955. It stands as the only existing Tomorrowland attraction dating back to the first date it opened, Disney said on its website. "Over the years, the roadways and car styles have been updated, but the fun stays the same," the ride's description read on Disney's website.
