I'd get the CRV primarily because of its riding comfort. 4X2 will suffice if you spend more time in the city but the 4X4 variant will definitely help you round the bends on out-of-town trips.
And if I were to get a Fort this year, I'd get the 3.0 hands down.
But then again I'd be thinking that the Fort is a 4 year old favorite na and its design will start aging real soon.

The only Fort worth getting (sorry Fort boys) is the 4x4 diesel. The Fortuner is compromised as a city car. It's too stiff and it's too wide. The wheels poke out of the body work, making it difficult to maneuver on small streets. I've experienced this on my test-drives, and I've been the victim of this on the road, when a Hilux 4x4 (same width as the Fort) wedged me in against the wall.
It's a good thing that his tires were soft, they didn't leave a mark.
Where the Fort shines is in moderate off-roading. It's got good ground clearance and a good center differential, but for rougher stuff, I'd prefer the LSD-equipped Everest (though the ride of the Eve isn't anything to write home about, either).
The CR-V is a much better road car, the 4x2 is quite fuel efficient for a gasoline CUV (just don't expect miracles), it's much more comfortable and maneuverable. Like the Civic, it's the base model CR-V that makes the most sense, if only because of the new R-series engine (the base Civic 1.8 and the base CR-V 2.0 both use "R" engines, while the Civic 2.0 and the CR-V 2.4 use the powerful but thirsty "K" engines).

If I have the money? I guess I will spend it with the new [H] CR-V!
While I was walking along HK Sun Plaza earlier, it was dusk. I saw Fortuners every 30 seconds... Imagine that, it's everywhere! And yes, I am not after parts.

I have the same dilemma right now but I will choose the substantially more fuel efficient. Honda CRV 4x2 is claiming 8.5km a liter in city while fortuner 2.7G gas is 8.0km. How true are these figures especially fortuner it seems to be a miracle?

kaya nman maka kuha ng ganitong figure basta wla masyado trapik at super bagal ng driving style. pero palagay ko 6 to 7 lang both car. feeling ko mas matipid crv kasi mas magaan sya at mas maliit makina

for me still the CRV, for everyday driving... you have high ground clearance, space of an SUV and riding comfort of a car.. add to that the honda badge and style
Actually depende yan sa gagamit. In our case, we currently have a Gen 2 CRV, but a friend of ours has decided to sell his Fortuner 2.5 D4D, and since its still very fresh (less than 10,000km), we are thinking of buying it then sell the CRV. But I'm having second thoughts since its my wife who will be using it primarily, baka kasi mahirapan si misis sa Fortuner since its bigger than the CRV. Maybe I'll let my wife drive Fortuner when we get to test it then decide from there.
Honda CR-V or Toyota Fortuner
