If you get the 170hp Diesel the injectors WILL break! It happens all across the range! To replace one ( there are 4) it will cost you between 700 to 1k! This fault has happened sooo many times! If you can afford that, no probs but the fact you do higher miles means it will happen!  However a lot of GTI boys mod the arse out the TFSI engine and it just keeps going! Food for thought!
