Buying a used Golf - which engine?
We are buying a second hand Golf as a second car due to expanding family. We don't do many miles so need a petrol.

The 122 is far more likely to be reliable than the twincharger 160.

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.
