Petrol or Diesel Golf?

I am switching from having a company car to car allowance.

I do 12,000 miles per year. For personal reasons I like to drive cars from the Volkswagen stable.

So my question is should I go for The 1.6 Diesel or go for petrol. I would like a ‘Match’ level equipped car. Below 129 CO2 better still below 119.

What is your view?

Comfortable and quiet on the move, enjoyable to drive. Nicely trimmed with great attention to detail. 1.4 TSI sweeter to drive than a diesel.
