The second generation Volkswagen Golf was introduced in 1984. Following the now established layout, the Mk2 was a front engined and front wheel drive hatchback. It is interesting to note that there is no Mk2 Cabriolet, instead Volkswagen continued to make the Mk1 Cabriolet during the Mk2's life. The most notable Mk2 variants were the Mk2 GTI, MK2 Rallye, MK2 Country and MK2 G60 limited. Built until 1992, the Mk2 was replaced by the Mk3 Golf.
