Sixth generation · Mk6 (5K)
A heavily revised Mk5 with a better interior and quieter body. The 1.6 TDI and 2.0 TDI CR diesels are solid; the 1.4 TSI twincharger and early DSG 7 are the traps. Cheap, plentiful and a good sub-25,000 PLN car if you pick the engine right.
- •Horizontal grille slats and headlights with a straight lower edge; simple tail lights (LED on GTI/higher trims)
- •Interior with soft-touch dash and Mk5-style layout; Variant estate has a longer rear overhang

Seventh generation · Mk7 (5G)
facelift 2017The best all-round Golf: light, quiet, with the belt-driven EA211 petrols that fixed the old chain problems, and the EA288 diesels. 1.4 TSI 125/150 and 2.0 TDI 150 are the sweet spots; the GTI (gen-3 EA888) and R are quick and mostly durable. Dry-clutch DSG 7 on small engines remains the check.
- •Pre-facelift (2013–2016): headlights with a straight lower edge, single-line grille, halogen or bi-xenon
- •Facelift 7.5 (2017–2020): LED headlights with a distinctive 'eyebrow' DRL, LED tail lights with animated indicators on higher trims
- •Variant estate; Sportsvan MPV is a separate body; GTI has red grille strip, R has quad exhausts

Eighth generation · Mk8 (CD)

- •Slim headlights connected by an LED strip on higher trims, minimal grille
- •Interior: digital cockpit, touch sliders for climate, few physical buttons (fixed on the 8.5)
