Audi a3 or VW golf

[Nasty Doorman]

I have currently got a astra 1.6 sxi plate with the full irmscher kit on..

I am looking at getting either a A3 or golf...prob a diesel about 1.9 or 2.0l but torn between the two..i have about 7k to spend...what do you think are the pros and cons on these two...
