The Best Compact SUVs
Large SUVs are difficult to maneuver, use an inordinate amount of natural resources, are more expensive to buy and maintain, and have a higher incidence of serious accidents than other family vehicles. With this in mind many shoppers are looking for the positive traits of SUVs such as a high seating position, ample cargo space, and a more rugged look with those of better gas mileage, maneuverability, ease of garage parking, and fewer maintenance items. To this end The Car Family has tested and evaluated the best selling compact SUVs on the market. They are easy to drive, all get above 20 mpg, and have four wheel drive either standard or as an option. In other words, these are the station wagons of the 21st century.
