So far, it’s bringing more smiles per km than the Model Y. I’ve been a big fan of the T2 and T3, but they were obviously not practical daily drivers for our family. So when VW offered the $21K discount this month, I knew it was my chance to finally make the move.
Loving the extra space and higher seating position. The 4Motion and overall performance are great for a vehicle that weighs over 6,000 lbs. There’s definitely more wind noise above 100 km/h, but that’s expected when you’re driving what’s essentially a brick on wheels.
Of course, the Model Y is light-years ahead when it comes to UI and software. The ID. Buzz has its fair share of frustrating and downright baffling design decisions, such as:
-No camp mode. The car automatically shuts off if no one is in the driver’s seat, forcing people to use dumbbells or rocks the AC running. Hopefully VW adds this via an OTA update, though I’m not holding my breath...
-Terrible app integration. The myVW app is painfully slow. Each command takes 20–30 seconds to process before error messages start popping up.
-Potato-quality rear camera. For a $100K OTD vehicle, you’d think VW could at least include a 720p camera system.
-You have to turn the side mirror knob to the 'R' side EVERY time you reverse if you want the mirrors to go down to see the parking lines or curb.

OMG can't believe someone actually dropped money on one. I heard they were stopping production cuz no demand. Like wouldn't mind it, if it didn't have like frisker levels of software issues.

For sure it was not the smartest financial decision, but with the latest discount from VW, it was not too big of a hit on my wallet after trading in the Y.

Good memory! After having a kid, we went from i3 -> Model 3 -> Model Y. Still have the GS3. Nothing really peak my interest lately, beyond maybe the single group strada X1.

For sure. There are folks on the fb group who are suggesting a class action lawsuit 
The $26k discount on that FB ad is misleading as the extra $5k discount from VW is only for business fleets.
My guess is that they will be provide more incentives for lease and finance options in the next couple of months, especially for the single colour models which have been sitting on the lot for 6+ month. I don't see how they could lower the price further as that would make the id buzz cheaper than the id.4!

Pretty sure I saw a recent ad with one of the local VW dealerships about having $99/week leases on the ID Buzz too.
Goods can always be moved. They just have to be priced accordingly.

I've only been charging it up to 80% and it shows about 250-270 km of range the last couple of days when it was below 10. I was able to drive around Vancouver and Richmond a few times on a single charge with the heater, massager and music on throughout the trip.
Yes, Canada's buzzes all come with heat pumps.

How bad is it is it compared to Tesla? Like Tesla app is still laggy at times, trying to view sentry mode and sometimes the car doesn't react occasionally when you do stuff like just walk up or turn on climate on app. But it's 85% good. There's no issues at all in the app with charge limits etc, charge times.

I've mainly been using carplay, so most of the features are fine. The infotainment system is not laggy, just more buggy compared to the Model Y. For instance, the auto lock/unlock doesn't work half the time, so I have to either touch the door handle or press the FOB #firstworldproblem

It's a 6 seater and you can take the rear seats out, so it becomes a 4 seater with a huge trunk

wont work if you just leave knob to 'R' side?
yeah that's super annoying on a vehicle at this price, not surprised given the back window toggle debacle
still want one though, if they facelift without cap buttons on the wheel and have more range

Cars have gotten bigger over time, and people have related that to crash safety reasons.... So then why is it people will deny or look down upon those who choose to buy SUV over sedan because they say they bought an SUV because it's safer.
