The simple answer would be "whichever is more likely to get you (at least towards) where you want to go".
And when the (very) vintage Ferrari spends much of the journey going backwards, thus rendering you farther from your intended destination than you were when you began that trip (and getting even further away with each passing mile), I'd HAVE to try the Golf Diesel, as, though it may not be as sexy a motor, when the other car has proven that it's simply not going to get you there, it's the better option, because it MAY get you there.
It may not have been when you first bought the Ferrari, of course. But that's a long time ago now.

Sorry, but I'll never be satisfied with a Golf diesel.
