Probably get lynched for the suggestion, but I'd personally look at a used Explorer or Escape. Even better, a Mercury Mountaineer or Lincoln Aviator (if you can find one). They are dirt cheap and pretty competent. The AWD systems do what they're supposed to do, and they're pretty reliable and cheap to fix. You can buy couple year old models for next to nothing, which is cool. Unless you expect real offroading, I'd really look at the Escape - it's a fine vehicle. Not flashy or anything, but it does what it does cheaply and comfortably.
Jeeps are also dirt cheap these days (coworker bought a two year old Commander for like $12k) but I'm slightly concerned with their reliability, and with Chrysler in a weird position I'm not sure what the long-term on them is. You know it'll get the job done, but when it breaks it could be an issue.
Are we talking new or used, anyway?
