Great review Jimi! Love the ID Buzz 🎉

[@jimirosa]

Thanx M8. I had a Blast driving it. I Got an pretty cool Audi commin my Way… 😉

[@renaulttraficconversion]

Thanks for the video, Jimi. I am looking forward to seeing this vehicle in Australia. Both my wife and I are interested in buying one. I wish you a Merry Christmas.

[@jimirosa]

Thank You very much. My wife and I Are also thinking about it, but for now our 2022 Skoda Enyaq must drive Some more first. Also a marry Christmas to You om the other side of the World 😊 Thanks for watching 😊

[@chryschrysostomou5392]

It's the first time I have seen any of your videos. The main reason for looking was because you featured my next car! Anytime anyone has a video on the ID Buzz, I am interested to hear and see their opinion! Thank you for the insight, I will not be able to get my hands on one, or see one in the flesh until maybe 2024, Cyprus isn't big on EVs. But at least it will give me the opportunity to buy the biggest battery and probably twin motor, as I think it will be a car I will own forever! Especially with the price it will cost!!

[@jimirosa]

Thanks for watching and I Wish You All the best with you’re New car (when You Can get it) I loved driving it for a week 👍😊

[@denspfennig6160]

wow such a beautiful car! love it! great video!

[@jimirosa]

I agree. Great car. Thanks for watching 😊

[@kassistwisted]

Thanks for this video. I first watched your channel about a month ago when you reviewed the MG4 (possibly my next car). I live in the Netherlands and it sounds like our driving conditions are very similar to yours (cold rain in the winter, flat landscape, lots of small country roads with little traffic). So your videos show me a real vision of what my experience with an EV here will be. Tuisend tak!

[@jimirosa]

Thank You so much for watching 😊

[@IDBUZZ_RC_DIY]

Great review!

[@jimirosa]

Thanx 😊

[@bruunpedersen6754]

Suggestion. Show the figures you mention in video. So we both hear and read the numbers.

[@jimirosa]

Thanks for the input 👍😊

[@suavesmithy]

Great review , I’ve placed an order for a id buzz cargo, been told it will be 6|7 months 😢

[@jimirosa]

Thanks. And yes. There are unfortunately long waiting times for some models right now. Thanks for watching

[@historianpakistan3361]

Dear Jimi, many thanks for your excellent review of the ID BUZZ. Kindly let me know about the extra tyre/spare tyre placement in the buzz as the front wheels are smaller to the rear...Are there two spares to accommodate the front wheel or the rear wheel as the differ in their sizes? Can you charge your buzz at home? Are public charging expensive? Many thanks for your time and expertise/knowledge about the new ID BUZZ. Congratulations to you & your loved ones!!

[@jimirosa]

Thanks a lot. In the car There is an repair kit for the Wheels. A pump and som foam to pump intro the damaged wheel. Fast charging can vary greatly in price. In Denmark you can make a subscriptions to get fast charging cheaper. It is only relevant for those who use these chargers often. I don't do that myself. On the long trip, electric cars are often more expensive than fossil cars, but if you charge them at home, electric cars are the cheapest to operate. Thats how it is in Denmark? Thanks for watching

[@bill_heywood]

I had the chance to sit in a Buzz and it put a huge smile on my face, if I had lots more money, it’s the family car I would buy. It would be perfect for going on holiday. Oh well, I can dream

[@jimirosa]

Remember that dreams can come true. Thanks for watching 👍😊

[@mfurmyr]

It was fun to drive it and I liked it. I would really like to have it as a taxi, but no heat pump is a big draw back. As a taxi driver I often work 10-12 hours. When it is minus 10 C like now in Oslo, much of the battery will be used to warm up a big car. My Opel Ampera- e could drive 450 km in the summer but only 250 km in the winter and I had to turn on and of the heat. With my Kia e-Niro and my recent car, Hyundai Ioniq 5, I can drive 350 km for at least 10 hours. The Kia and the Hyundai drive 530 km in the summer. One issue is also the height to get into the car. I drive a lot of elderly people who do not like buzzes - and Tesla S and 3.

[@jimirosa]

Thanks for input. The ID. BUZZ has a heat pump here in Denmark?

[@talldave7799]

Wait, are u saying the car comes without a Heater??

[@yesyes1974]

Du snakker godt engelsk 👍

[@jimirosa]

Tak John. Jeg prøvet mit bedste 😊

[@pawjeppesen-ifttttricks605]

Tænkte også, da jeg så at der kommer videoer på engelsk. End dansker der (forsøger) at snakke engelsk, kan godt være tåkrumende, men det er meget bedre end frygtet. Bliv endelig ved. Så bliver du over tesla bjørn.

[@JDI4DAVID]

It is a beautiful vehicle

[@jimirosa]

I agree 😊

[@QuietStormX]

Hey it's to expect at speed in your EV and the Tires too. You normally have music on to drown out road noise and wind. ;-D

[@jimirosa]

The point is that I do this test with All the Cars that I drive. Thanks for watching 😊

[@talldave7799]

Do you have pricing info?! Rumor has it that it will hit the US market starting at Mid $70,000 dollars which would put it way out of range for most US buyers.

[@jimirosa]

it is difficult to give prices on the channel as I am trying to reach viewers with interest in electric cars in most of the world. Here in Denmark, prices start at DKK 490,000 and the car in the video costs approx. DKK 635.000.

[@talldave7799]

@@jimirosa Thank you for that info. I understand your reservations about your global audience, but no car review can be considered complete without price information!! I can understand if the OEM has not yet released pricing, but if the car is for sale, that's "material" information that should be disclosed. Without a price, consumers are unable to compare other EVs, especially with a few startups offering small commercial Vans which offer similar functionality to ID Buzz.

[@commercial22]

bien

[@jimirosa]

Thank You 😊

[@dragondancer1874]

I want one. Are we gonna have them in the USA?

[@jimirosa]

It’a a great car. I don’t know if You will get them in the usa 😊

[@trailrunningphil]

Do you like it enough to buy one?

[@jimirosa]

Yes! I have owned Skoda Enyaq, Volvo XC40 P8 Recharge and Tesla Model Y. The ID. BUZZ is my favorit, but I can’t get hold of one in the next 8-10 months…

[@Flyingtwiglet]

Software should be 3.x (3.2 I think) not 2.4.

[@jimirosa]

I Think it is 3.x in this car. It had predicted SoC in navigation…

[@JDI4DAVID]

Drag coefficient doesn't need to be factored by anything.

[@jimirosa]

Acording to the engineers I spoke to thats how it is…

[@JDI4DAVID]

@@jimirosa The drag coefficient is the ratio of the drag force to product of fluid dynamic head and the frontal area. It is a pseudo constant. What changes are the dynamic head and the resulting drag force since the area is a constant. A drag coefficient of 0.28 for the iD Buzz is impressive.

[@UKMike2009]

The only epic thing about this vehicle is the PRICE! Looks different which is refreshing but the price is too high for a people carrier/van

[@jimirosa]

Yes. The price is higher than the competitors, but you also get a larger car with a very special appearance

[@fraho6431]

Very sad, the possible distance per charge is by far too low. A no go.

[@jimirosa]

It obviously depends on your needs. It was fine for me, but I can easily see your point. Fortunately, the car's charging curve is quite good. But yeah, it's not the most efficient EV in the world... Thanks for watching .

[@clipsonplextorfield3230]

the question that i keep asking myself is how do ppl pay for a car like this its easy 70.000€ Lets say you drive tis car for 8 years (96m) bechose of the battery going downhill from there. then its 70.000/96= 729€ per month (for a car.... this is more than i pay for my house) dont be fooled with balloons bechose you pay the same if you calculate it. and you even end up with nothing when your balloon runs out Pay part 3 or buy new 1 meaning investing your original capital again example simulation on the VW site with Carcredit id buzz 71K input 20.000€ 59month 535€ last payment 31500€ or dump the car ans start over. (20.000+(59*535))/59= 874€ thats when you cant pay it and need to pay intresed.... this is making my head spin! this has ofcourse nothing to do with this good review of the car, keep it up and looking forward to the next review

[@jimirosa]

There are cars in all price ranges. I drive a Skoda Enyaq myself, which is also quite pricey…

[@proform3dcnc567]

There's not numerous things when you consider the drag coefficient of the car. It is what it is. There are more things when you consider the drag of the car, one of them is drag coefficient.

[@jimirosa]

True 👍😊

[@zaneenaz4962]

Can the Buzz do even one-half of what the Vanagon can ?? -------> kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXvRg3ajYrqgopY

[@jimirosa]

In principle, it can probably do significantly more. But if you consider the range, you will get further between each break on diesel or petrol

[@shaun7427]

【ｐｒｏｍｏｓｍ】

[@newtonwhatevs]

That's the sort of thing you drive immediately after castration.

[@jimirosa]

😂

[@commercial22]

Ich bin Mechaniker in Marokko. Können Sie mir Videos schicken, die ich auf meinem privaten Kanal poste? So werden wir eine gegenseitige Partnerschaft haben, in der mein Kanal berühmt wird und Ihre Produkte von mir maximal akzeptiert werden Respekt.

[@jimirosa]

Hi there. Right now my English KZbin channel is just an experiment. therefore, I would like to keep it at that, for now. Thank you for your interest in my videos

[@breizizel3256]

Is not iconique ! T1 is only iconique !

[@jimirosa]

The T1 was probably not considered iconic 70 years ago either…

[@clasqm]

You couldn't make a T1 today and get it licensed for road use. In that care, you are the crumple zone!

[@jimirosa]

I’m sure you’re right 👍😊

[@stefan2796]

The Multivan is OK, but the Buzz quickly resembles a clowns car. Fun for children, but to drive around in it yourself all day... Nein Danke! Furthermore, the Buzz is very expensive. A little dressed up, two tone paint + nice wheels, quickly towards the 70-75K...

[@jimirosa]

Its pricy i agree. But I am a giant fan of the car. Nice with different opinions 👍😊

[@timw4369]

Overpriced junk

[@jimirosa]

I can't stop you from thinking that. But I don't agree…

[@jrwilson98]

It's too expensive. Try the Canoo Livestyle van. Better and cheaper.

[@jimirosa]

Canoo is clearly also exciting
