Just a few quick thoughts.
The whole "SUV is safer than a sedan" thing is pretty much a myth. If you want one for towing or hauling cargo, or just because you like the style, go for it. Just don't do it strictly for "safety".
Jeep can make some pretty luxurious vehicles. If you load the Grand Cherokee up, it's quite a nice vehicle. You'll pay a premium, but it's darn nice. Stay away from the Compass and the Renegade...as far away as possible.
Lincoln and Caddy are quite nice, but if you're budget concerned, take a look at the line up just below them. Lincoln is a Ford in a fancy dress...you can get a nicely loaded Ford for less. Caddy is other GM brands dressed up, so you can get a nice Chevy or Buick for less.
Spare tires are becoming more and more rare. Fix a flat is rather common on most cars. An inconvenience at times, sure, but not a deal breaker for me.
