[@stillwaters4097]

Volkswagen has essentially priced almost everyone who would want this van out of the game. It’s way too expensive

[@jonpetter8921]

You wont see a car like this one on the road thought. And the offering as well: If you buy the 1 edition you will get: standard massaging, ventilated, heated, front seat, heating, ventilated second seat, electric side-door, side mirror, electromatic glass-roof. No pickups or minivan has the amount of cabin size of this. Not to mention things like driving dynamic(for a minivan), the fancy interior and much more.....

[@GrumpyMonkey69]

They made a big mistake by only offering it in an electric version.

[@Cbphan80]

Don’t forget the crazy markup the dealers are doing.

[@BlackDogMizukage]

Like corporate always says, "If you can't afford it, it's not for you." Even if you can afford it and just don't wanna be bamboozled, they'll still use the same sentiment

[@TrumanBurbankFE]

The public craved this ID.Buzz 5-7 years ago when it was launched as concept cars alongside its siblings ID.3 and ID.4 at Venice Beach. Many years later, with many competitors with better specs, this is too expensive, with subpar materials, noisy, mediocre range, and crappy/ lagging software even after several updates to this day. VW missed the window of opportunity when it was ahead.

[@Ruach77]

They waited way too long to release it.

[@marcoadamberger4456]

Vw fixed the software its not that crappy anymore.

[@xp50player]

I liked it when it was going to be small & affordable.

[@daveklein2826]

You are a liar

[@derek4101]

True! It’s too late now

[@scatpackbob3707]

Too expensive, insufficient range (for what it is) but great styling. It will be an “early adopter” vehicle and will then sit on dealers lots, IMHO. Thanks for bringing this - top notch review that we have grown accustomed to 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@dinobianchini8339]

Yes, indeed these manufacturers are off their greedy minds😮😮

[@stevenbaggett6549]

In the 70's my brother bought a 1958 VW bus where the windshield was split and you could raise each one individually outward to let air in. He wore goggles while driving. Fun times. Thankfully never got into an accident..it was built like a tin can

[@nysavvy9241]

I love this. So cool. Hopefully, a gas or hybrid will be introduced with a lower price tag. I still keep quarters in my car. I refuse to pay on my phone or card for metered parking.

[@Nyy_fan7]

I love it, just not at $67K.

[@RaitisRides]

Yeah the price is the big sore sport

[@fatbart8551]

It’ll be $33k for a used one in 2026.

$70K back in 1967. I wonder how many you could buy with just that amount GTA San Andreas will always remind me of The Truth and his VW Buss called the Mothership. Runs on cooking oil and tops out at like 40 mph. 198 thousand grams to be exact was on board that day to San Fiero

@@RaitisRides GTA Sandreas had the coolest VW Buss.

[@AlexMichaelClark]

1967 T1 price was around $2,670, which comes out to just over $25k in today’s money. So this is a little under 3x the price of the ‘67.

[@BoopSnoot]

@@AlexMichaelClark 1967 was a better road trip vehicle than a short range ev

[@AlexMichaelClark]

@ I definitely agree! Nothing beats the originals. I wish they went way further with the vintage design elements on the Buzz. (And I wish I could afford the Buzz).

[@momoknows]

Joe its Mo here right off the bat Im gonna Zonk the styling but if they do a Partrige family Remake I think this is The Van To Use great video as always .

[@mickeybrumfield764]

The panoramic roof is nice, but can we have a power shade, please? You're right on target Joe.

[@gnawty4662]

These manufacturers need to stop talking about the future, showing me “concept” cars, and just GIVE IT TO ME. The future is now !

[@LuisUrbieta]

I love the Volkswagen ID buzz I feel like Volkswagen went above and beyond when it comes to making that design and make it fresh without making it completely brand new but it looks very good

[@RaitisRides]

I’m glad that I could share it with yiu

[@LuisUrbieta]

@@RaitisRides yes I love the Volkswagen ID price I feel like that should be your next vehicle for the driveway

[@MrDaveaccord]

Damn cool looking vehicle but the price is outrageous before the dealer adds the even more outrageous markup.

1950 was the first year of the bus, not 1967 Joe. 67 was the last year of the split screen.

[@RaitisRides]

Good call on yhat

[@bailey.nt86]

I remember the first comment I ever left on your channel was maybe 6 or more years ago.(I'm thinking it was this account) You were reviewing a Subaru STi. I may have left a comment of my 2011 Hatch and how cool it was. Safe to say it's still cool, still running strong, and I still daily the crap out of it. I'm still on the stock clutch 😅 it's been on "stage 2" the entire time. I can't remember how many subscribers you had but it may have been around 75k. I'm happy you have over a million now, that's insane... and that's progress 👏 And you put in the work... dude your channel has a million videos on it. Good job! I still can't with the electric cars. Something about that subie rumble, stick shift, crazy interior rattles, and the cool factor 😎 I bought it new for $31,595. On the weekend I drive my C7 7 speed. That was 50 brand new. The more these new cars evolve, the more I want the old school cars. Keep up the cool videos, they are very entertaining 😀 🍻

[@cancel.lgbtq.6892]

Stop hitting on him...

[@HarryTwatter]

Isn't this thing like 60k with 250 miles of range? Yikes

[@RaitisRides]

Uhm you’re pretty spot on

[@bikes7777]

$80k

[@Turk380]

more like 190 miles at highway speed.. and if you're on a longer trip that requires multiple charge stops... if you're following the 10%-80% charge rule then you're only going to get about 140 miles between stops, and spend at least 30 minutes stuck at a Walmart using your EA membership, futzing around trying to get charging initialized, hoping the charge stall hasn't been de-rated, etc. This thing is a non-starter until at minimum VW is open to use Tesla superchargers.

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Yes of course Joe & I'm really like this vehicle.

[@dominickirkwood]

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

[@GenSparks]

I love this, but out of my price range maybe once they get rebates who knows. It does need more range too but overall I just love the style.

[@FourQed]

I would imagine the VW dealers are happily adding up the extra charges they can pile up on this thing.

[@jdb316]

I give Volkswagen credit for trying and I like the style. But the range and performance are underwhelming for $67K. Families would be better off looking for a hybrid version of one of the minivans in the U.S. market.

[@24james]

So many car channels out there. Over time Joe’s has become my fav. Cool guy. Cool cars. Actually tells me a what I WANT to know. Great job sir!!💯✔️🙏🏾🇺🇸👍🏽

[@Johnny_Utah187]

At least you can sleep in it when it breaks down.

[@Legendary____]

I’m sure vw has the low range on purpose. They always start their cars with lesser stuff so that way they can come back with a longer range next year and get people to buy or trade in. It’s marketing. They did it with the ID 4, gli etc

[@japaridze001]

Saw this van at LA auto show in Blue, kind of impressive never thought would be so expensive

[@RaitisRides]

Yeah the price is a killer

Sorry Joe it’s a cool vehicle but a zonk on the electric ⚡️ and the price.Great video as always ✊👑

[@joeb9763]

You always do a fantastic job showing the vehicles! This VW is very retro cool but totally overpriced. VW can do better for less, a hybrid would have been a better choice

[@adamlyman8293]

In the early 80’s I had a 1970 Bus while living near the beach in Florida…it was sooo much fun. The new ID Buzz looks amazing but unfortunately the price is too much for my blood. Thanks for the great review Joe!

[@usmantariq7997]

Overall, it's a great practical minivan. The only thing missing is the engine.

[@RaitisRides]

I know there are others that feel the same way

[@josemanuelruiz2036]

[@Jcruzer70]

Great looking, but for $70k, you absolutely need a longer range for that battery! Not to mention, no camping accessories or hookups. Bummer.

[@Jcash2324]

No TVs in the back or nothing for that price car companies wild

[@michaelsheedy]

A brilliant, retro design.

[@rafaeltorovip]

I can say that, the bus is beautiful, my only two complaints are its price and the range.

[@josebrito5202]

I saw the same spec ID Buzz at Bob Boast VW at Bradenton. Their sales guys are concerned at the 70k price tag. A new 1967 VW Bus was about $18k to $21k on today’s dollars. I like the GM Dustduster Van look to it.

[@billsmith5960]

My 1968 Bus was $2,759 brand new (I have the original bill of sale). That's $25K today. My 2003 Eurovan was $32,500 brand new. That's $55,700 today. The equivalent of my 2003 in Germany is $86K today.

[@TOMPARTS]

I’m still waiting to see one on the road🙃

[@stackchn]

200 mi of 'real world 'range isn't acceptable in a $60-70k EV in the year 2025 🔋

[@omarcortes5754]

I’m not into electrics but I kinda like this one. Love how spacious it is and looks pretty good.

[@RaitisRides]

It is more spacious than a suburban

[@tp06]

Such a short range is a BUZZ KILL! I suspect it won't sell well for that price and terribly low range.

[@raymondwalden7341]

I am really diggin this thing. VW knocked it out of the park with the design inside and out. I would buy one today if it was decently priced. Maybe if they made a gas powered version and sold it for 40k.

[@billsmith5960]

You obviously have not priced VW vans in the last 25 years. My 2003 Eurovan was $32,500 new. That's $55,700 today.

[@edwardnelson3413]

I would purchase tomorrow if they had a gas powered option

[@darniusterix5774]

It's a collectors item, not a basic wagon. I don't see the average family dropping $70K for a minivan.

[@williamwood1776]

The Toyota Sienna, fully loaded is approaching the $70k mark...this is going to sell very well, I think.

[@WRXinthe410]

I actuality really really like this. Wish they made an ICE version. I would get and all white version and black aftermarket wheels.

[@patp6835]

Love how smooth it sounds. It reminds me of Scooby Doo and friends. I would’ve been interested, but too expensive for me and I prefer hybrid. Thanks Joe!

[@belebergista47]

67k for this? Not even 300 Mike range! Is a hard pass for me. Neeeexxxxt!!

[@davefigore7843]

20 years too Late ... and almost 70k too Short. Oh ... forgot those infamous letters ... "EV" which = N ... O

[@MrNew122]

Volkswagen, this is an epic fail. At 60k (not including dealer markup) this is going to be a "fleet vehicle" for Amazon, UPS, and Fed Ex. Yes, there will be a few suburban, Starbucks yuppies who will buy it, but I see taxi cab in the future of this vehicle.

[@sandydiller4828]

Will there be tariffs affecting these cars or are they made here?

[@pinkmechnicalpencil-x7m]

leave it in the 70s they could be making better quality cars instead of trolling the market

[@rehabmax]

The whole purpose of the original was to get around the US as a home on wheels. Now you are searching for charging stations.The price is outrageous if you are 18 years old and going off to college . It should have been kept as an ICE at half the price. No pop up roof either. I would put a hundred magnetic flowers all over it. It might selll well in California. Again make an ICE version with a CVT f you want to sell more of them

[@billsmith5960]

My 2003 Eurovan was $32,500 brand new. That's $55,700 today. I just wonder why people think they should be like $35K with a gas motor.

[@bgrant48234]

Those sliding doors are pretty big too though.

I can't really remember my first cassette, but I do remember having a Slick Rick cassette, I think it was the Behind bars one. Then when Wu Tang came out, I had that cassette and the CD when they started the CD players.😕🙂🤓😎🤠😏👍✌️👋👏💪🌾🍀🌿🍃🇺🇸

[@RaitisRides]

Those were the good old days

[@isimonsez]

Range is okay. Do that many people travel across the country? For most drivers who commute or take a day trip to a campsite, park, beach etc,, this van gets you there and back. 67k is a lot for most people but most cars people want today cost a lot. You want tech and a laundry list of options, you gotta pay. 45k seems more reasonable for this

[@Jowurel]

As much as I want to dislike this thing because of the touch screen infotainment nonsense and the grotesque exterior styling, the interior practicality in the back seats is top tier and that matters more in a minivan. Thumbs up to VW

[@Jowurel]

Also those wheels are great.
