My wife has a 3.0TDI one for the last 4 years and it's a great machine for hauling kids & all their stuff about. Other than a bluetooth module and a starter motor it's been faultless which is'nt bad as they are not far off A8's in terms of complexity/over engineering.
If it was me, I'd go for a 2011 facelift car that has the 8 speed gearbox. It should be a lot more economical and nicer to drive. I'm probably biased but I think the 3.0TDI is fine, they're too bulky a beast for thrashing about.
Air Suspension is worth having if you can find one that has it. Other than that, get as much spec as you can as the options list is long.
S-Lines are more desirable but most have alecantra seats that don't go well with kids/dogs etc.
A lot of people complain about tyre wear but I've not an issue with it.
