Which model of Volkswagen Golf should I buy for 13,000 miles a year?

I want a perky Volkswagen Golf to drive that is fairly economical. I intend to keep the car, so am thinking about a diesel engine. I do quite a high mileage, about 13,000 per year. There are quite a lot of engines to choose from. Which do you suggest?

If you go for a Golf, then get a 1.4TSI 122, not any of the diesels. The 1.4TSI is the best engine.
