Help me choose the right Volkswagen Passat

Hi, was just wondering could anybody help me. I am looking to buy a Volkswagen Passat, but don't know too much about cars. I am looking to buy a 2003 or 2004 Passat, but what kind of engine is better? The likes of a 100hp or 130hp? Which would be better on fuel? And which would be better: a five- or six-speed gearbox?
