Just a little input on the Golf, seeing as I've had one (8v GTI), they are very underrated cars. Comfy, nice to drive, smooth ride, well built, roomy, and mine was faultlessly reliable and went pretty well...
As for the engine, if it's a TD it will either be the 1.6 Umwelt TD which is sluggish but bombproof and will run on veg as it has a Bosch pump, or the 1.9TDI which is even more bombproof, it won't run on veg but it will do 55 mpg on a run easily. Look for rust, they love to do that, and make sure the suspension is tight and well looked after because they handle terribly with sloppy bushes
