I'll add. An A4 would definitely be what I'd chase after in your scenario. AWD killer fuel economy in the turbo 4's, and half the parts can be bought at a VW dealer. Or you can buy jobber VW parts. You can have two identical parts, one in a VW box, one in an Audi box, with substantially different prices. Plus safety is phenomenal with them.
2008-2010 A4s can be found in the 8-12k range in very good condition, and will hold their value extremely well once they hit that price point.
