There's not many options that are better in that range though (luxe compact). If you want an AWD luxury sedan Audi is the only game in town. BMW's X-drive has nothing on Quattro and in my experience recent offerings from both are about equivalent.

I wouldn't have considered anything from VAG a couple years ago and I'm fairly pleased with my current VAG ride, though I've only had it a couple months. I'll report back down the road!
