what would be the best first car for me.?

i am about to get my first car in a month or so. so i was wondering what vehicle would be the best for me.

i have always loved jeeps, especially wranglers.
i need it to get me up and down the mountain in the winter
(needs to be 4x4)
gotta look cool
get me to and from school
needs a place to put snowboards and stuff


i have heard that a suv isn't a very good first car, so does that put a jeep out of question

would rather have decent mpg

so what do u think i should get...???
