  • @ewadge
    The pricing of all VW ID models goes from silly to absolutely nuts.
  • @MichaelKirven
    Door closing sound is my favorite part of your reviews.

  • @markbriggs5531
    Haven't even watched this video all the way through yet but I'm laughing my head off at the bonging noise when you sit down! "Dad! Can you do that again?" the children will say! Good to see the German sense of humour. Hello from the UK. I will continue watching and looking forward to more ausgezeichnet video content :)
  • Another great review, very informative. Thomas does a great job, and the long wheelbase GTX van looks like quite the nice and capable package.
  • @joeythelips2341
    The VW buzz could have been so popular if it wasnt for the price.The starting price for one in Ireland is €59k.
  • @MJSEN
    I was worried when you had the side doors open for the door test but you realised and closed them! Top tier work 👏
  • @rossr6616
    I love it but would need to be a second or third owner one day. Also, you are among the top reviewers for me. well done!
  • @douglashamm4668
    Once again, an excellent review! I am looking forward to the ID Buzz coming to the US later this year.
  • @micks209
    GTX needs to be offered in the US
  • @HelloMyFriend_
    Hi. Will the first edition ID Buzz (short wheelbase) have the option to aftermarket install the 2-2-2 seating option?
  • @arohdepetersen
    Thanks for a great review. With the new updated software with pre-heating of the battery is there also a better solution for keeping the heating on for longer time than 30min? I.e. for camper / dog mode?
  • I would love to see an AWD synchro version will a little more ground clearance and some off road modes.
  • Love this channel. Don’t know how I’ve not subscribed until now, but I have done now. Really wish you’d shown the boot space behind the 3rd row, with the 3rd row slid forward though! Perhaps next time you get hold of a LWB ID Buzz you could show it?
  • @swyang68
    Having such a short frontal area means much less shock absorption capacity, resulting in a dramatically reduced passenger protection. Same for the third row seat passengers. A few years ago I was driving my Golf GTI on a highway and there was a sudden traffic slow down and I was rear ended by a big sedan and I'm happy I had no one on the back seats because the rear bumper was literally against the back of my seat. Had I had rear passengers, they would have been crushed to death.
