Question Buying a new car...

Hey, here in the next couple of months, as soon as get settled back home in Alaska, I want to get myself a decent vehicle, and I think I've narrowed it down to three or four choices and I want yalls input.

Basically, I want a new (within two years) cheap entry level SUV ($23,000 and under). 4X4 is a must and I prefer a manual transmission. Four doors is a plus, but two door is fine. Good gas mileage of course. No Chevy products. I don't need any frills or fancy stuff (except a killer sound system). Just a good, reliable vehicle that will last me.

I've heard good things about these:

Toyota RAV4
Saturn Vue
Jeep Liberty

I also like:

Hyundai Santa Fe
Kia Sportage
Jeep Wrangler (My mother had an '01 and I really liked it, but it was horrible on gas)
Ford Escape/Mazda Tribute
