Which Volkswagen Golf is best?

Which Volkswagen would be better for us:

- A Golf Mk6 TDI 105 Match (2012) 14000 miles £13000
Or
- A Golf Mk7 TSI 85 S 14000 miles (2013)£12500

We will cover 15,000 miles a year on hilly rural roads. Also would the electronic handbrake on the MK7 give us any trouble?

The Mk 7 Golf TSI 85. Very economical, nicer to drive than the diesel, and cannot suffer from diesel ailments such as DPF failure because it doesn't have one. But I can't tell you of the electric parking brake will give trouble.
