A loooong time waiting for this vehicle. I would recommend anyone a Buzz who are thinking of getting an SUV of sorts. Its boot looks like it can fit 7 buggies! But I'm turned off by its price. It is sold like a NewBeetle or new Mini, there's a market of premium buyer in mind that's designed into these vehicles. Yes, after the billions in fines for diesel gate and the equal amount of money to develop EVs "means" that VW had to make back the cost through higher profits But none of us should believe that the Buzz is significantly more materially costly than the ID.4 or 3 as its price implies. Plushness and options justifies profit. There's no justifying a lack of affordable options when it comes to EV adoption that's pitched as a solution.
Impressed with your review and the van. Can't wait to see the 7 seat version.
It's in development still, a 3rd row should fit into the standard/short wheel base.
Just a great pity about the price.
Great review Blake as you have demonstrated its a very practical car and eye catching as well.
Thanks Allan! Great to get that kind of feedback!
Is there a door opening manual override, in an emergency, with a loss of power?
Guys, Show not tell, you really need a videographer to shoot these videos rather then just a jorno with a phone

Why does ever review think it was built for families. The original was for adventure not to do the school run
... adventure vehicle was its cultural impact, but not its design purpose. It was first a van penned for a Dutch VW factory.
