Can't remember the years, but...

Golf 1, the original hatchback, beginning 1974 (butchered and called
Rabbit in North America). The handling benchmark (excluding North
American cars, which had sadly detuned suspension). Generic single or
dual round headlights (ugly mismatched rectangular in later Rabbits).
Still manufactured in South Africa. Pickup version called Caddy;
notchback called Jetta (yet-tuh). Coupe called Scirocco.

Golf 2, second-generation Golf (first model sold as Golf in North
America). Lost the handling abilities of first generation. Generic
single or dual round headlights. Pickuop discontinued. Notchback
Jetta. Coupe Scirocco.

Golf 3 (carried on nonenthusiast's nonhandling tradition introduced
by Golf 2). First version offered with VR6 engine. Flush ovalish
this-model-only headlights. Notchback ?Jetta. Coupe Corrado.

Golf 4 - current mode, still lacking handling ability (this includes
New Beetle version). Notchback called Vento, I think (still Jetta in
USA). Coupe discontinued.
