| | 10 motorcycle safety tips | Motorcycles are fun and fuel efficient. That's not news to anyone who's ridden one. But neither is the fact that they're also way more dangerous than a car.

Our experts provide tips to help you stay safe on two wheels. Learn more in our motorcycle hub, buying guide, and in our reliability and owner satisfaction report.

|  | | | Face-off: Mazda CX-5 vs. Toyota RAV4 | | Two small, fuel-efficient SUVs go head-to-head in our latest road test.

See which small SUV comes out on top.
|  | | | Car battery Ratings | | We have just updated our car battery Ratings with the latest test results from our lab. The timing is perfect, as hot summer months can be very tough on car batteries-even more harsh than winter. A key finding: Do not buy based on brand. Some brands ranked at the top and bottom, making it hard for a consumer to choose a good battery without our handy Rating chart. See our buying advice and Ratings.

 | | | Car wax | | With the change of seasons comes the perfect excuse, and weather, to apply a fresh coat of wax on your car to help protect it from bugs, pollen, sun, and road grime. Our tests show that even the best waxes last only a few weeks. We also found that pastes performed no better than liquids overall, though the two top-scoring pastes were the only waxes to rated excellent for durability. Check out our car wax advice and Ratings, and get polishing.
