I'm planning to buy a used car within the next two months, but i still havent decided which one of these two favorites. The price range is around the same.

I own an '02 Xterra. With new plugs it ekes out 16-17 mpg. Peppy engine. Oh yeah, if you like to do a little work like the changing of the plugs forget it. Changing the rear-most no. 6 plug nearly requires pulling the engine (V-6). You do have to take the air intake manifold off. I like the way it handles and all of the interior stuff, except the emergency flasher button is situated oddly and the engine hood latch is tricky to find.
