Which are deemed the better car ( I know they are almost identical! )....the C4 Grand Picasso, or the Peugeot 5008. Legroom up front and even in the second row seems better in the 5008?

Which Volkswagen Golf will I buy?
Hey, i'm looking to change my car at the minute and am thinking of the VW Golf 1.2 as i like the look of it and it will be cheap to insure, tax and run but as myself and my wife have a baby on the way i'm worried this won't be big enough. I don't do enough mileage to justify the extra cost of a 1.6 diesel and would like to stick to a max of 1.4. Do you think i should go ahead and get the Golf or is there anything else i should consider? My budget is 20k but i don't want a car older that 2010.
