Is the 2024 Volkswagen ID Buzz the BEST new 3-row vehicle to BUY?

[@JonnoPlays]

Dual motors meaning a gas option? Because this would be useless for USA highway travel without a gas option. I'm very interested in the new vans from VW, but if they think USA infrastructure is ready for an all-electric travel van they need to think again. I had to pay to ship my electric car from California to Texas because there simply is no option to drive that distance on electric.

[@tessamadere80]

VERY TRUE!

[@blakorican]

The ID Buzz will be a hit!

[@RaitisRides]

I agree with you!

[@dannyboystartronicalpizzaw9692]

Hope they make a hippie version

[@JAM_2024]

Looks nice but as an EV its mediocre just like the rest of the ID series. Poor range, efficiency, no ota updates and crap software. Probably gonna be expensive too.

I wanted to add, this is THE BEST channel for all things new cars. Such a great watch. Top marks! It’s the way you deliver the info makes all the difference! Truly!! New car reviews are dime a dozen, so this is what sets you apart from the rest.

[@SpringfieldTony]

oh oh I love that the 3rd row of seats can be removed, I freaking love that. gives you flexibility for more cargo room & not be forced to deal with a 3rd row taking up half of rear storage. is this a sign that VW is about to strike again? I hope so. brilliant review - you have streamlined yours style & this is the example of Joe Raitit kicking butt. there goes my hero -

[@RaitisRides]

You are way to kind my friend! I’m just glad that I could bring it to you!

[@mickeybrumfield764]

Like the way the back seats don't just fold down but are removable. Great that you can drive around experiencing the world with your VW badge illuminated. Looks like a party bus.

[@jessicaal415]

My 2003 Eurovan can do this as well. Altho rear-facing seat, that seat is removable. Wish this had a Westfalia option like earlier models.

[@RaitisRides]

This is so very true!

[@richardfodaski5827]

Does the id buzz offer towing as a option.I heard there is a lever just inside the rear hatch to swing down a tow bar.

[@MrSoulMonk]

I absolutely love your reviews. You are on point, funny, and very consistent in how you present. Hats off to you.

[@uperez71]

My wife doesn’t know it yet but we are buying one!! I love it. Brings back so much childhood memories going on trip with my uncle and cousins.

[@RaitisRides]

That is really fantastic!

[@ladym6513]

I think the ID Buzz was well thought out, although I would like to see a full bench seat up front that's optional and a storage space or deeper console. And roof racks for bikes and skies, camping items. Also a automatic step up bar for the driver and passenger is a must. And last but not least bigger wheels. The wheels should be a standard 22" inch. I like the longer wheel base for the price I think it will be worth it. I hope they have keyless entry that your mobile device can control.

[@tp06]

Love it! The third row leg room is incredible!

[@RaitisRides]

MASSIVE

[@leea4624]

Love it! As long as the price isn’t ridiculous, I’m going to see if the wife will go this route. She’s not a car person like I am, but she does love classic VWs, like the Bus, Bug, and Karmann Ghia. And so I think she’ll love this modern take on a classic idea. Thanks for sharing Joe and Steven. Cheers

[@davidgiles9751]

While it might not be a big seller, I'd love to see a modern EV take on the Karmann Ghia.

This is the very first time I ever heard you not “ZONK” anything about a vehicle,, lol 😂 ..I’m not much of a foreign vehicle fan, but I gotta say, this vehicle is nice 👍🏽 and it brings back memories of the original buzz

[@RaitisRides]

It is a pretty iconic vehicle.

[@atg1338]

Every vehicle made is foreign 🤣🤣🤣

[@lemonecantu04]

“Dealer Market Adjustment” will definitely be reasonable 😂

[@RaitisRides]

[@MrSelvin78]

Will there be plug in hybrid version atleast? Want to get Vans only for the long trip which should not cause any kind of anxiety with reapect to fuel range.

[@CaptainRon1913]

I would consider a hybrid or turbo diesel, but not an EV. Especially at $70k, with a battery replacement cost of $40k.

[@BasementBargins]

Depends on the price. Once that is established, one can make comparisions for similar priced vans to compare features and decide which vehical gives you the best deal for the money. I currently have a Dodge Caravan that all seats fold flush into the floor so it can be a cargo van or a 7 passenger van depending on your needs for the day. The best part is I never have to remove seats. I've had vans in the past I had to remvove the seats and it's a hassle to lift out and store until you want to put them back in again. Back in the day, the VW bugs and buses where not that expensive compared to other vehicals offered, but not sure if the new VW Buzz with fit that catagory of pricing.

[@WaveManMike]

As a VW salesman I am very excited 😊

[@RaitisRides]

Oh I bet you are for sure!

[@Ziggyman-jx4vy]

I've never been more excited about a vehicle as much as I am about this one. Looks great!!! You had me at "The kid you hate the most"!!! 😂 Great reviews.

Loving the ID Buzz. When you talked about throwing the kid you hate the most in the 3rd row, Kevin from Home Alone came to mind 😂😅 Love your videos Joe, and great job Steven.

[@JonnoPlays]

🙀 KEVIN!

[@JuanLopez-kw9of]

Great review Joe, love that VW decided to bring the bus back. i would have liked it more with the classic round headlights. Also, that cheese grater lower front bumper looks cheap to me. The interior looks well sorted and roomy to the very back. I just hope dealer markups are kept in check.

[@NintendoSlim]

I’m usually not a Volkswagen guy but I’d definitely consider this if I need a family hauler and wanted an EV!! Definitely nailed the styling with this!! 👽🛸

As long as the price isn't too steep, then, I do believe this just may be my next vehicle. I thought it was going to be a new Jeep Wrangler, but, maybe not. I just love my 2003 VW Beetle and it has never let me down yet. Thank You! Keep up the good work!! 🚙🚙🚙🚙

How comfortable was the driver's seat? I have a bone disease and need a good seat. I have to get rid of my Forester because the seat is too small and I can only drive about 20 minutes

[@abrahamasaad6639]

i like it , and be approciated if you tell us the range when fully charge ? and how long to charge it ?

[@williamyoung9122]

Does it have defrost on back window? Or defrosting on outside mirrors?

[@mikehawk120]

Needs to have a Hybrid option, or perhaps have an onboards generator that can recharge periodically to extend range some.

Great short pants buddy. Wearing shorts is perfect for sunny California with the iconic surfer van. oops I meant buz . I just wish you had a matching blue shirt . The camera loves that popping ocean blue color. Color even matches the comment button lol. Electric motor is genius adding so much interior space. And the interior color is so bright and natural. 👍

[@hirostvjapan]

I love the design of it but you can't beat a Japanese minivan. Toyota Alphard, Nissan Serena, Honda Stepwagon, etc. I think all countries should copy it because so many of my friends want one in their countries I have a Mercedes V and had Nissan Serena Nismo and it's nice but the one part I hate about Mercedes V and ID Buzz is that you have to take out 3rd seat. It's so heavy and it takes time but all Japanese minivan pops up to the side by one hand or it goes bottom so even kids can do it and get huge backspace. I don't know why Mercedes or VW don't like it but really are so many places where they can get good ideas from Japanese Minivan. Its is so nice. I love the look of ID BUZZ an was thinking of getting one when it comes to Japan but since you have to take ff 3rd seat I said forget it.
