Mk2, Mk4 & Mk6. Seems every other generation's the charm. Mk1 was quirkily ugly, Mk3 was blobby and with US bumpers looked like it needed a diaper change, and Mk5 calls to mind a potato and hasn't grown on me.

This kind of thread has been opened before a couple of times. Some will say Mark1/2/3/4/5/6 without knowing crap about them...
Some just because they owned it and some will open wide their mouth to talk crap about other generations but hey not everybody likes the same stuff you do. It's like talking about religion kind of.
Content: I personally LOVE my MarkIII and like MarkII. IMO MarkIII is the best looking car and I loved it before I bought it. The body is sexy and the motor is just awesome. Luckily I haven't spent much money on it on repairs . It gives me a little electrical problems once in a while which is normal in these cars. But anyone that has owned or still owns a MarkIII will understand what I'm saying. So I must say I'd own a MarkIII forever or until I can't drive,which ever comes first

I like the current MK VI the best, but everything since MK III has looked better . The MK I-II-III's were too boxy, Volvo-appearing for my taste.

Mk2
Mk3
Then if you need a beater mk4
If you want something that has the worst crank/head ventilation on the planet and the filthiest engine bay then Mk5

MKIV
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, beer in one hand cigar in the other, body throughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "Holy sh!t what a ride!"

The "Posting and You" was worth clicking on this tread!
Jetta coupe - hands down + I quad rounds
I will always prefer the look of a 2dr coupe vs. a 4dr sedan ,even if it isnt as practical
BTW , can someone list where each generation of Jetta was manufactured? I know lots of them were built in good ol' Me-He-Co ,just wondering which ones.Last edited by DUBSfightinRUST; 06-01-2012 at 03:50 PM.

In stock trim, probably the MkVI.
Properly modified, however, my choice is MkIII and MkII.

my buddy has a mk5 that looks pretty good, and i saw some really nice mk5's at sowo.
i saw mk6's with stuff done, and they really only look good dumped down on bags imo.
mk4's look really good, kinda close to the mk3 with a few styling changes, but i like the mk3 the bestest. Originally Posted by NotLowEnough

I agree with this for mk6. They would only look good bagged.
I'd have to say a nicely done mk2 coupe does It for me...

I would go MKII or MKV.
MKII because a good friend had one in high school and I always thought it was sweet. Not many VWs around in those days, and it was unique.
MKV, but that may just be a familarity thing because there are so many of them out there.2009 Jetta Sportwagen SE

Mk1, Mk3, and Mk5 mainly because of the lines that they all have. Mk1 for originality. Mk3 b/c of the grille. Mk5 b/c of the tail lights and the front grille. All nice really.
16 with a bagged Mk2... Pretty sure I'm the only one at my school with bags...

My official vote, in unmodified factory trim... I'd have to agree with the above post about mkIV 2004.5-2005 GLI's.
I like the compact, just-big-enough feel of mk1-mk3 which was lost after that as the bodies grew...
I can appreciate all generations and have a tough time choosing, but mkIII done up right is tough to beat.

I always thought the Mk III was the best-styled Jetta, so far. This is my opinion on styling only, and does not factor quality, performance, reliability, or other criteria.
Yes, I owned a Jetta Mk III a number of years ago. But I have also owned many other Volkswagens.
