Overhaulin'

What type of vehicle should I buy?

I was recently in a wreck where I totaled my car. It was an audi tt and by far the best thing i've ever owned! but sadly its gone and i need something new. I am moving to Portland Oregon this summer and have no idea what to get. I was thinking about a 4x4 suv or something for the terrain in oregon, it will definitley come in handy in the winter for skiing and other outdoor things but will be most likely bad on gas mileage. I was also just thinking of something smaller and more reliable. Anything i get is a downgrade from before so something kinda sporty or at least somewhat masculine would be great. Safety is another big issue with me now as well. Really, I'm willing to look at whatever. It will definitely need to be a used vehicle and nothing over 15k. Sry, i know this is really vague but any info will really help direct me into some sort of direction. Thanks to anyone willing to help!
