Volkswagen ID.Buzz is Awesome But Also Needs Some Work

[@dinodinosaur2930]

💚 Love the looks ... Doesn't look like the windows drop down or do anything funky ... FYI Ferrari look to be going back to normal buttons in two years time ... This is going to drive Roma & Purosangue owners to curse bad words 😬

I always think car reviewers that give opinion about infotainment when they only sit in the car like under 1 hour is kinda pointless. Of course you would think it s bad because you are not used to it,right ? People that have the ID Buzz are happy with the infotainment. It s not the best infortsnement but it s good enough compared to the average.

I'd argue the opposite, that because I sample many more systems I get a good sense of what works and what doesn't. Additionally, it's not just that I've experienced the poor VW system in the Buzz (which I did really enjoy overall, such a fun machine), but I experience it in a myriad of VW products.

NOT a single person buys a rear drive anything in the Northeast. The all wheel drive is 72K here in CT, NY, MA. Etc. That's 30K beyond what was promised years ago. The range is awful. It's a family travel vehicle, 231 miles is unacceptable, period. The infotainment no buttons is absurd as you said. Correct, Fisker would have done this and they are soon to be gone. Thousand and thousands of people on dealer lists to get one. They came in to local dealers here and 1 out of 20 have sold. 1. Discounts are already in the thousands. You'd think after diesel gate this would have been a slam dunk, because they needed a slam dunk. It's not. I'll just keep enjoying my 1976 Bus camper. This won't be joining it in our garage. Very sad.

Your 76 is rear drive... (just pointing that out to be annoying, I also hate Dunkin Donuts even though I am from the Northeast)

[@ggolds5]

@@TheHooniverse We never go to Dunkin Donuts. Awful coffee. Many other great and organic coffee shops around us. As for Smokin Dixie ( name of our Bus), yes, rear drive Mr. Annoying, but she is never driven in bad weather. Right now I prepare her for Spring and tinker. Our daily driver right now is a Mustang Mach-e. Just got the Tesla connector in the mail yesterday. Finally.

Bring the 5 seater version VW!

[@ALMX5DP]

Nice balanced review and very reasonable criticisms. Would be a rather epic vehicle at $40k but at its current price yeah kinda a hot mess wrapped in a cool package.

[@TheHooniverse]

Good thing I didn't say "affordable"

[@ALMX5DP]

@@TheHooniversehaha lord help us. Anyways hope you and your friends/family/colleagues are still keeping safe down there. Heard winds might be picking back up.

@@ALMX5DP all safe in the OC - still can't stop thinking about all my LA friends though...

[@Lucky-ou4vz]

I'll buy one at Copart and put a Super Beetle Engine in it !! Should have been a hybrid or TDI Diesel Option !! Volkswagen can Shove it for 72k and 230 mi Range. I'll keep my 65 and 67

[@SanDiego.Peyman]

We need gas version, this one no good some people may / will buy not me.

[@paulm6481]

230 miles of range lol. What a joke. Should have been a hybrid. Pass.

[@GeorgeMcNally]

So less then 200 miles of range in the winter with heated seats and heat on? For 70k? Seriously? Hard no. And I'm in the market.
