Was in croatia and montenegro recently and literally saw more mk2 golfs there than anywhere else, even perhaps here in late 80s, early 90s. They were all old beaters with galactic mileage that had been sold on from other parts of Europe though, hardly any GTIs. Kind of a testament to the endurability of vws from that era.
