  • Why is the VW Golf so adored in Bosnia? Some people say that Golf's legendary status here was born during Bosnia's war of independence in the 90s.  But the story goes back far further than that. We take a trip to find out more.

    My father bought a used (1985) Golf MkII in 1995, right after the war for 1.500€. He drove it for 15 years and had someone offer him €1.700 for it after that time. The stories you can hear about this car around here are mind boggling.

      Look at it this way, imagine you bought a car 15 years ago. A car that was driven and wasnt kept in the garage and wasn't invested in. And then someone offers you more than what you paid for it. And we're talking about a car that has been produced in tens of millions, not some rarity.
      Inflation would be 43.1%, so it would come down to 2.146 Euros.
      Which would mean my father drove a car for 15 years and it only cost him 646 Euros, 43 Euros a year.

    Short answer.
    It was built in Sarajevo factory, and parts were smuggled over the fence for free - so it made it popular because it was basically free to maintain and every mechanic had all parts in stock bought for practically nothing.

    We owned a Golf in the 80's and my dad traveled to Italy from Bosnia in 1990 to buy a Jetta which was stolen at the very start of the war. I ran across it couple of years later. I recognized it due to the stickers on the back of the car that I put there. Of course we had no recourse. I swore off VW since then and drove Honda's and Mercedes only however I had a change of heart recently. I actually went in to order a new Jetta a month ago. Hopefully I get to keep this one forever lol.

He loved that car as did I. When he passed away he willed it to my Mother who then taught me to drive in it. Since then I've owned numerous Golf GTi's and Golf R's and now both my daughters each one a VW Polo (that I bought for them) and my wife just bought a new T-Cross three weeks ago.

    I'm a big fan of Volkswagen, I've been in that car since I was born. As soon as I was born, they put me in a Golf 2 and I spent a year of my life in that car while it was. My father that car was sold to my aunt in 2005, from 2005 to 2015 I grew up in a Golf 4 SDI 1999 with which I spent everything passed, learned to drive and the first car I drove. At the same time, I grew up in the Golf 2 in which I started my life, and in the Golf 5 TDI Edition from 2010, which was with my uncle at Taxi until 2018, where a cousin (son of the uncle) inherited that Golf. That Golf now has 760,000 kilometers and does not give up, suffering from 200 horsepower. In 2015, we owned a Skoda Octavia A5 4x4, it didn't let us down, we toured Europe with it, after that we had a Passat B6, also a nice car and never had any problems, and that's where I became an even bigger fan. In 2020, I thought my world was collapsing. My father sold the Passat, I had a lot of problems at home and my father bought a Toyota. I couldn't get used to that car at all, I wasn't satisfied with that car and I don't feel the same in other cars as I do in Volkswagen. At the time, I thought I wouldn't last any longer, but some problems are being solved. At the end of 2020, I met a man who is my best friend today because he is a Volkswagen fan and where VW brought us together, that man turned my life around, but all because of VW. A few months later, I realized my boyhood dream of driving a Golf 5 R32. After that, the Toyota started breaking down, we sold it and bought a VW Golf Mk7 with a panoramic roof. The Golf 7 has 330,000 kilometers and it doesn't give up, with that car I traveled to the VW meet in Imotski, I went to weddings, I traveled to my best friend in Slavonski Brod and had a nice drive, this year I fulfilled two more boyhood dreams that I went for a ride in Golf 5 GT Sport TDI R line with almost full equipment and that cousin took me for a ride in his Golf 5 GTI Edition 30, I've seen and driven a lot of VWs in my life and I can never get bored. I passed the driver's license for a car on a Golf 8, and a driver's license for a van on a VW LT46. I even worked at an authorized VW workshop. At home, I collect VW parts and VW jackets, t-shirts, pendants and the like... Simply, once a Volkswagen always a Volkswagen. Of course, I also have my page @best_of_volkswagen where I publish Volkswagens, I have met many VW fans through pages and VW Meets. Volkswagen forever 💙💙

    Also very popular in South Africa but with the economy being what it is, the Golf has been swapped out for the Polo. The MK1 was very popular with the basic body plan being sold into the early 2010s as the VW Citi Golf. It was eventually replaced by the Polo vivo which is basically the previous gen polo
