Both were recently redesigned to get fatter, I think the CRV was fattened up
for '09 and the Frontier for '10 but I could be wrong.
Doing a side by side on fueleconomy.gov the CRV gets considerably better fuel
economy at least by EPA estimates. The only pickup I know of that will touch it
is the Colorado. Some safety minded folks don't like the Colorado, apparently
it doesn't do great in crash tests.
I don't think you can go wrong with either based on your criteria. As with
everything it'll be what you feel as you drive it.

Yeah, I know everyone has them,
but.....
I am going to buy something new (to me) next month. I
am considering either a Nissan Frontier Crew Cab or a Honda CRV. I want
something I can carry stuff in, and either one would fit the bill. I
don't need 4WD or any of that garbage, so that's not critical. The only
thing I don't like about these two choices is the marginal gas mileage.
Please
don't suggest an old MB. I want something late model (2005 or newer)
and reliable that does not require repairs. I need wheels that I can do
regular maintenance and put fuel in and be done with it - I don't have
time to tinker.
If you have any direct experience with either of
these vehicles or can think of something comparable, I like to hear it.
Thanks,
Dan
