Default Diesel Engines

I'm looking at getting a diesel motor as I am currently commuting 700 miles per week and have been looking at either a Golf GT TDI or a Focus TDCi.

Has anyone got any experiance of the above motors?
Also, how do you find out which bhp version engine is in these cars?

Golf has a better engine but the Focus drives and handles miles better.

Wife has a 115PS Focus TDCi, been faultless for 30k + miles. Does around 460 to a tank and will sit at 100mph all day in quiet comfort.

Good fun to drive too.
