I’m with you on the door closing sound! It matters to the feel of a car.

Great review...I have been waiting for these vehicles to arrive in the USA for 6 years now and am excited about their arrival. BTW, totally with you on the door closing sound. It's part of why when I first saw your videos, I thought...OK this guy gets the user experience. We have a Chevy Bolt EV, and when you close the hatch, it sounds like I am slamming a plastic lid on a plastic trash can. I always worry if I'm going to break the mechanism some day. These things matter, and also a solid door sound tells me the materials are solid. I have some solid materials that will help protect me from a side collision. So please keep giving us the door closing sounds!

Very strange VW didn't make the second seat row removable. We're also a family of 5 but with our big dog. Currently in our T5 we have the bench seat near the back so we have lots of space for our dog to sit in the middle in his basket and we can keep an eye on him. But this is also useful for bikes, shopping, kinderwagen, bringing your grünschnitt to the local tip etc etc. Not being able to do that is rubbish.

Door closing sound is very important to me! My father used to have a first generation Audi A8, the doors closed like a safe!

Its pretty ridiculous how long its taken VW to being this to the US. Im very confused what they are doing over here. Their models are very uncompetitive in nearly every segment they are in. They have been here for decades and have very very little to show for it. Their sales are very very low comapred to the competition for many of their models. I genuinely am very confused that they are still selling cars over here to be honest. They only seem interested in offering their most expensive models these day here. Its very irritating to see so many brands to choose to sell lass cars but for higher profits. They all seem to be "moving up market" as they always say. We dont need these cars to move upmarket. We need affordable cars. Edit: See this is what Im talking about. The interior is plastic fantastic. Trying to compete with American brands for how much cost cutting they can do on the interior. And for such a high price point as well.

A good door closing sound is VERY important!! It separates the difference between well-made vehicles from the low quality vehicles. It's the little things that are important and most drivers don't notice.

Great review. Is that sunroof blackout or dimmed? I’d like to get that option but I’ll be sleeping in it when camping so worried too much light would come through.

Staying with my Multivan T7, I really love the flexibility with rail-system for the seats.

Interesting and comprehensive review thanks. The only VW I would consider buying at the moment :-)

Totally agree, door open and shut sound is very nearly a deal breaker.

Very cool van

Will there be Camping Mode in the Buzz? And thanks for a great review and video!!

YES!

Is the cargo version will have sliding door on both sides? Also, Will the cargo version will have flat floor and wall separate the cargo from the front seats?

I think our headrests are designed in a way that when they're down they have minimal blockage of rear view

The door closing feeling is very important. It's one of the things that separate European brands from the rest. It needs to feel heavy, tactile and precise, and the sound can not have any metal hollow ring to it. It needs to sound heavy and compact, like if it's stuffed with sound proofing material, which it probably is.

New song is born, "You're so far away from me" 😃

I also like the comments about doors sound.

The door closing sound was one of the reasons i went for the new Tesla model 3 instead of used one. Just sounded more premium a safer.

At ~13:44 I think you missed one feauture of the removable center console? It looks like there is a storage compartment in the bottom of the unit? (I gues a sliding one) Would be odd if they didnt utalize the whole thing. Also, 100%with you on the door closing sound, thats really important. Great review, good job! 😊👍

So when will we see Bilkänsla? The Swedish version. ;p Thx for stellar content. I have a question. Is there a tray also behind the second row of seating either on the 6-seator or the 7-seater?

No three independent removable seats in the second row is a deal breaker.

Great review! I have only saw a couple of these in Scotland, mainly vans ? Any chance of the odd classic car review every now and again ?😎

Thanks m8 !

A fascinating review, thank you. This Buzz shows VW at its current best. The design and engineering is wonderful with numerous practical design touches. It has been compromised by parts of the UI/UX which still depend on capacitive buttons and Cariad’s failed auto software. Maybe VW’s recent investment in Rivian will sort out the software but presumably with a long lead time - say 2027. But though I do not want to drive one of these things, I really applaud the thought that has gone into practicality and design. Greater than €60k? Maybe not.

Only way to be sure that restaurant you’re visiting is clean check the toilet cleanness first. And first and easiest build quality inspection on a car is door sound.

Yes, door closing sound is important.

I may be wrong here, but 36:30 when the right side sliding door is open.. it's covering the charging hatch right? It may just be the camera angle and I hope I am wrong.

I am truly impressed by the room in the 2&3 rows and the ingress and egress of the third row

Kinda disappointing compared to T5/6/7 regarding the seats not being on rails, can't remove them, no bench/bed combo.... :/ Wonder if VW will try to make a California version of this.

Why isn't the UK going to get the long-wheelbase version of the ID Buzz GTX that will be offered in other markets?

The view out while driving will be something I would need to see in person. The "double-pillar" may be something I can't "appreciate"

solid sounding doors is a thing 👍

Hello..the back seat made me think a bit..it is very steep..what do you think?

About the doors, i thought you had worked as a chauffeur, that you had a fleet of cars, limousines, that sort of thing..

I live in Korea. Hyundai and Kia are family. So they share a lot of parts. But ppl prefer to buy Kia. Cause of door closing feelings. Kia has more heavy sound than hyundai.

Extra power from AWD will help if you regularly haul a full load of people and stuff, weight adds up quickly in a big vehicle like this (I own a 2002 Chevy Suburban with a 5.3L V8 and can feel the difference with 7 people and all our stuff on a road trip).

Any idea whether this will come with NACS in the US? I hope VW isn't launching with an obsolete port which will require adapters for most of its life. I really like this car! This is becoming my favorite EV.

Door closing sound is important. YOu can hear hte build quolity of the car if the sound proofing is good and hte feel of a premium car or not. Toyota prius has one of the worts door closing sound in my opinion. And thats not a premium car,

Cool that they make the sliding door longer. I wish this would come in a LWB Cargo version.

Nice test! It would be great to know the specific options on the tested car. I am configuring one and am in doubt if I should choose the option for noise dampening windows, and here it is really relevant if the wind noise remarks are for a model with or without this.

I had a ‘73 Fleetwood and a ‘75 Marquis 4 dr. The ford Products doors were so balanced and easy to close with a nice closing sound. Ok Rant over lol😅

When VW puts the new Tiguan’s steering wheel (with actual buttons), this will be a compelling package. Longer term, optimizing the infotainment for better user experience will make the car (almost) perfect.

Manufacturers have only been fitting moulded non-animal skin steering wheels on lower models for the last 50 years, but they now can't find a supplier? That's just silly, imo. Why doesn't someome make quality plastic ones, without any wrap? Love the shape and concept of the Buzz, but EV nah, and price, ouch! Great review, Thomas and Leah.

The middle row seats in my 2017 Odyssey are removable and they are really heavy. I understand they have to be sturdy for durability and crash performance, but they will kill your back if you aren't careful. Would like to see car companies offer a light weight seat option for a premium. I'll pay $1000 for seats that don't weight 70 lbs.

That issue with the middle row of seats not being able to be removed is a bit strange because when you think about induction, it should be possible to get electric power to that middle row of seats. The technology called induction is being tested for charging electric cars from under the road, but induction is also the same technology used in electric kettles that can unplug from their base, or electric toothbrushes. So induction technology has been around for a long time, it's cheap and surely it would be easy to connect the middle seat to a power source without have some complex cables that people have to plug in or unplug. As for the data, there are many ways of passing data without a cable.
