actually v was also mk2 as well
If we were to get really anal than we could mention the little know fact that the mk3 Ibiza (99-02) isn't actually a mk3, it is in fact a facelift facelift mk2 Ibiza. That is also why some people with mk3 and mk4s have troubles when they go to the dealer, asking for parts for their mk3s/mk4s. Because in some countries the mk3 is still counted as a mk2, and a mk4 is a mk3.
