Long time vw/Audi driver. My current car, a 2017 GTI is great fun. Prior I had 2 Golf TDIs, 2 Passage, another GTI and a Cabrio. The first TDI went 80,000 and the dealer approached me with a trade value that was too good to be true, $11k if I recall. The second diesel was even better getting 38 around town,  but it  turned out to also be killing people with respiratory problems. The next was a great deal as VW worked to keep it's customers despite the scandal.

There is also the Jetta Sportwagen. It can be had in AWD for less than the Alltrack which the sane car raised and clad.

Consider if you need AWD. I ski often choosing to drive up into snow storms for first chair. With 4 snows and 6 speed manual I don't really miss the Quattro I had in my Audis until there is more than 6-8 inches and the car becomes a plow. The raised ride height on the Alltrack was tempting, but i decided to drive carefully on ski days and spend for the best snow tires to get the horsepower GTI brings every day. 
You'd be happy in a VW. The Alltrack is about 35 more horsepower and you can enhance a VW by doubt the engine if you get board.
