I'd be going for petrol, especially as you say it's for you to use as a "runaround" which I'm assuming will involve short journeys. Plus you get cheaper fuel and no adblu, EGR and DPF.
I'm with you on DSG though, I'll never own another manual.

My short journeys are around 15 miles ,25 mins....so not too bad ,the performance on the 1.4 tsi petrol is good but economy not the best.....did consider the 1.2 tsi fab economy.....
1.9tdi without dpf is the one 
Though saying that, according to Wikipedia there were V5 and V6 petrol versions!
Well I've now checked out 2 and both were not for me ,the 2.0 diesel DSG was a decent drive and the 1.4 TSI manual was also pretty good......but I've decided on a 2.0 TSI DSG .......I pick it up on Monday , purchased over the phone subject to test drive etc.....I'll keep you all posted. 
No. Not including depreciation as the right older car shouldn't loose much money, but what you'll spend taxing, insuring, servicing, probably repairing and most definitely improving, will pay for a lot of diesel in a vehicle that does 20mpg less.
We've recently bought our daughter a Polo to learn in. I've been driving it a bit to 'save the van' and can assure you that it doesn't add up.

Pix or it didnt happenJust to update this post I'm now sorted.........
Thanks for all the responses
My 2004 beetle 1.9Tdi 101hp was disappointing.1.9tdi without dpf is the one
It replaced my golf 4 1.9td 90hpi.
The Golf averaged 70MPG, the beetle only 45. Beetle felt faster because of the Pumpduse system but not sure it was .
However the 1.9 tdi was reliable and the rest of the car crap.
Ok, I'll sort and post over Xmas....Pix or it didnt happen
Right ! It's now almost 8 months after Xmas so I'd better post up some pics.....There was a slight issue though, the car was so good I've decided not to use it as a runabout.....so it sits in the garage and has been out once this year...

It's a 2.0 TSI ,DSG ,GSR Limited Edition....
