    yours will be a mk4.

    mk1 is the "rabbit" in the states.

    mk1: '74 - '82
    mk2: '83 - '92
    mk3: '91 - '98
    mk4: '98 - '04
    mk5: '04 - present

    i think.

    More or less as they said, although I believe that in the States, the Mk1, 2 and 3 models were each continued for approx another year after production stopped in Europe.

    I think there's a good summary on Wikipedia, under VW Golf, if you're interested.
