If you're getting a vw stay away from the dsg and all wheel drive combo. My dsg is dog shit, lurches around, delayed response, and feels like it'll break apart any minute now. It's only a year old and with 25k on it.
Get the 6speed with 4matic and you'll be fine...ish (it's a vw after all).
Maybe a Volvo c30 ? You don't see too many of these around. I always liked them in the Polestar blue.
