I have considered this - but spoke to a friend who is an Audi mechanic (and did a bit of googling) and some of the TFSI engine codes (1.8 & 2.0) from 08-10 has some notorious oil guzzling tendencies, especially after 100k. So I'm holding out for a 3.2 I think.
A shame as I really fancied an Allroad too.

Hoping this is the right thread for this but looking for some inspiration on a ULEZ friendly estate for circa £7-8k. Just sold my S3 8L and I'm genuinely lacking in ideas. Don't want anything too old - think 2008ish the furthest I want to go back, want something vaguely quick too.
Current shortlist is:
Alfa 159 Ti tbi (couple on eBay I'm considering giving a call about)
A4 3.2 Avant (missed the perfect one in January on eBay, still fuming)
330/335i touring M sport (bit meh and nice ones don't seem common)
Oh, and off my own topic but just to contribute a bit of aesthetics - this is my 53 80" Series One that I lightly restored a few years ago - my grandfather bought it in the late 50's, it sat in a hedge since the 70's and I, against the clock, managed to get it up and running in time to drive him to his 90th.
