I'd like either a nice sedan or a small SUV. I'll be buying used, but I don't want anything extremely old or with very high mileage.
Does anyone have any opinions on the Jeep Grand Cherokee or the Ford Escape? I've been looking at those a lot.

Have you considered any VWs? I have a 2009 Tiguan and I love it (I'm also 21). It's about the size of a Honda CRV, gets 26 mpg I think and I personally think it's an incredibly good looking car, inside and out. It's also so fun and easy to drive, and everyone comments on how smooth the ride is as well as its looks.
I think the 2009 model is actually better looking than the newer ones with the "corporate grill" if you are looking for used anyway.
The Passat is also a nice sedan, and you can find them used with a lot of different options for features, engines, etc. Very spacious, and the 2006-2010 version is the most attractive one IMHO. A Passat also saved my life many years back, so I've got a soft spot for them
If you're looking for a smaller SUV, the Grand Cherokee seems pretty big to me, but the smaller Jeeps like the Liberty are notorious for maintenance issues. I don't know that much about American cars, but the Edge seems to be the better option of the two you named.
