thinking about the CRV...I don't need any fancy stuff, but a 4WD is definitely a plus.

Just note, many of the cheaper SUVs are NOT four wheel drive. They are "all-wheel-drive", which is little more than a weak traction control system. Cheap REAL 4x4s include pick-ups and Jeep Wranglers.
Rav4, Kias and CRVs, Touareg, Subaru etc are not 4x4, they are AWD and not appropriate for off-road or even heavy snow driving. Remember - if it isn't truck-based it is unlikely to be a 4x4 (the exception being the Audi Quattro)
Good 4x4s include Pathfinders, Blazers, xterras, 4runners and the new Toyota TJ (I think its called), Grand Cherokee, The Audi's with Quattro (not all have it, some are AWD)

The best value in a SUV is the Ford Explorer with the 6 cyl SOHC motor. Mileage is about 20 though - but these are extremely reliable & you can actually tow something with them. Be careful of the Honda CR-v, Odyssey & Acura MDX - these are part of a class action lawsuit for transmission failures - apparently Honda would not pay Borg Warner royalties for there transmission patents & voila - new transmission from scratch that did not fare too well in the market place - if you by a Honda SUV - buy an extended warranty on the trans - this is a not well know fiasco.

You should try the Toyota Rav4 4X4 which gets 23/28 with an inline 4 engine or 21/27 with a V6 or you could get the Honda CRV which gets 22/28 on the only available I-4 engine, both car are good and small and very easy to drive, plus they are very reliable, and the are priced around 20k new.

SUV's are not known to be cheap or have good gas milage.
If you have no valid reason for getting a truck, then my advice would be not go get one.
