Should I buy a Golf 1.2 TSI 85?

What do you think about the Golf 1.2 TSI 85 hp for a guy who doesent travel a lot( 6300 miles per year). Is it good enough for the motorway travelling at 80 mph with four adults and luggage? In those situations would it be economical or should I go for the 1.4 TSI?

I think you need the 1.2TSI 105. That is okay.

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.
