I suggest that his article be merged into the general Volkswagen Golf article, Mk1 section.

I dont agree, CitiGolf has been around for 22 years unders its own nameplate and deserves its own article.

Seconded. With 22 years of continual improvement under the hood and various facelifts, it has evolved into a distinct vehicle in it's own right. In general there are too many proposals to merge articles. Having lots of small articles is more useful than a few big articles.

I agree. That's like saying the GTI deserves its own article too because it's sold separately in North America from the Golf, and it's been around for 23 years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by UrPQ31 (talk • contribs) 22:13, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

I do not agree. So many of these car pages get "merged" into a colossal page that becomes overwhelming. The citi is based on the mkI Golf but has undergone extensive facelifts and changes. It is a unique vehicle and specific to Southern Africa. Let it not be a footnote because it is more than that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jniel002 (talk • contribs) 20:54, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

I still agree. I do believe that the Citi Golf deserves its own recognition; however, should the Mk2 Jetta in China get its own page? It's gone through equally as many independent changes since it stopped mainstream production around the globe. If this page stays, someone needs to make separate pages for cars like the Citi (ie. Chinese mk2 Jetta, Chinese B2 Santana, etc.) UrPQ31 01:17, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Not only is the car justifiably important enough in its own right, but this is a perfectly legible article. The general Golf article is long enough already. As for the Chinese Jettas, I hope that they do get their own page (haven't checked if they already do). The VW Santana was recently split into its own article (from Passat), meaning lots of space dedicated to the Santana 2000/3000. ⊂Mr.choppers⊃ (talk) 04:12, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also oppose the suggestion to merge this article with the main article. While the CitiGolf has its roots in the Golf Mk1, it became a whole model range of its own over its lifetime. That said, it was not just an entry model, but it spanned the whole range from really cheap (ZAR 35,000 starting price for some really basic models) to the range where the Golf itself was being marketed (ZAR 90,000 - 110,000). The finish and performance of some of the Citi models rivalled the interior of the more 'luxurious' Golf Mk2/3. 82.153.209.220 (talk) 03:45, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm updating the name of the Caddy... http://www.vw.co.za/models/pickup/ MoHaG 21:57, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chico name

The Chico name was not an alternate name for the CitiGolf (as the article implies). Chico was the first 'model' name, similar to the Blues, Deco etc models. The Chico was the successor to the 'original' model (as seen at http:/upwiki/wikipedia/commons/archive/7/75/20081026122338!VW_Citi_Golf.JPG). The Chico came in solid white, green, apricot orange and a few other solid colours, after which VWSA introduced the Blues (which came in both metallic and solid colours). After that came the Deco and the Lux models. 82.153.209.220 (talk) 03:45, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Remove merge tag

Source for end of manufacturing date

http://www.vw.co.za/magazine/pdf?edition=12&part=98 put last manufacture date at 21 Aug 2009 MoHaG (talk) 13:10, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

VW SA link

Volkswagen of South Africa [1] is a subsidary of Volkswagen and should have a separate link. MoHaG (talk) 20:28, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I welcome you to write the article. Even a stump is better than nothing, as long as it is correctly sourced. I don't really know enough myself to start it, so have at it! best regards, ⊂Mr.choppers⊃ (talk) 04:08, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The link in this article was recently changed to point to the Volkswagen page. This seems unnecessary (it is already linked under "Parent company") MoHaG (talk) 04:16, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In full agreement, better to leave it red. But best of all is a new article! ⊂Mr.choppers⊃ (talk) 04:46, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
