Neither of these cars are 2008 models. But it doesn't really matter as they are both the same as equivalent 2008 models anyway.
The 3.2 Quattro is basically the same engine and 4wd as the Golf mk5 R32. So it'll sound nice (could always be better with an exhaust mind) and go well. The 4wd is nice too. Also has the bigger brakes. The downside is that they aren't overly quick, and are expensive to tune, if that's something you would consider. And they aren't particularly good on fuel either.
The 2.0 TFSI will be slower, although not by much. A cheeky remap and it'll be faster than the R32, although wont have the traction because no 4wd. But these engines are easy to tune, and a few grand could see it hit 350+ BHP quite easily. I'd be trying to find a Quattro. But realistically, if tuning was something you would consider, it might be worth upping the budget a bit for an S3.
If tuning isn't something you would consider, get the 3.2 and live with the fuel economy. The sound is great after a stainless exhaust though, so I would do that even if you do nothing else. The whole point of these is the sound, and Audi do a good job of hiding it with the standard exhaust. But I'd also look for an Auto (DSG).
That being said, I'd be tempted to up the budget a little and get one of these :

I loved mine. And they are not slow, and only marginally worse on fuel than the 6 cylinder. And they sound MUCH better.
