I wish they made one with AWD. A little Jetta TDI Sport Wagon with AWD would be perfect for me.
They do.
Audi A3 TDI Quattro
Unfortunately its only available in Europe.

You won't see 50mpg until about 25,000-35,000 miles once the engine is fully broken in.

43.7 doing 70 coming back from TF Green tonight.
