I think officially it's a MK5.. am I right? Clubpolo says it's a MK8.

Facelift models do not count as actual MKs
All pictures are roughly age appropriate, some of the early models may not actually be correct. If I couldn't find the name I just searched for one of the inclusive years.

Best I can work out their counting facelifts as another mk, so it's a mk5 if you don't count facelifts separately and a mk8 if you do. I'd call it a mk5 myself.

Mk8 if you count the facelifts. I find it easiest to call it a 6R since there's no confusion over facelifts.

Just call it a new Golf2

It's about the right size.
