As always, thanks for watching.
I was so excited when the Buzz came out and still think they look amazing. I remember being posted to Germany in the 70's. My squaddie buddies and I all went out to get ourselves a left hand drive car. They all went for BMW/Mercedes etc but I went for a VW camper, being strange like that. Honestly, I pulled waay more young frauliens than any of them. Great memories. 😊
Love that ☺️
It looks like it bounces around on that air ride. It is the best looking one I’ve seen
Honestly, it's the road to THQ, it's shocking!! 😂 The Solow AiR super comfy really.
If they came with a Golf R engine, I'd have one tommorow , love the looks 👍
The new GTX version should be fun. No Golf-R. I have to agree, that would be mega.
Great Review, we are on our second Demo now. You need to run one as a daily for a year to truly appreciate the benefits.
Our Demo on SoLow Air has been faultless and a joy to drive and own.
Your new demo looks mega!!
Aired out it reminds me of an American hot rod.
I’ve had my Buzz for 9 months now and done about 6,000 miles in it. Similar situation, family with 3 kids and a dog, the Buzz suits us. I’m likely to upgrade to the LWB when it’s out, although that’s only as long as a SWB T6.
One thing to add is just how well it drives. Not like a T6 at all, more like a hatchback. Super nimble and manoeuvrable - mine’s also got the 360 camera and park assist which is gimmicky but fun.
Haters gonna hate but I love mine. Just needs modifying a bit now… 🥳
@@stoem that's great to hear. I totally agree 😊
Quality video! Makes me want one even more. I’d love to win this
I'm really going to miss it. The tickets with Kilted are here if you fancy a go www.kiltedcompetitions.co.uk/competition/transporter-hqs-custom-built-volkswagen-id-buzz-or-35000-cash/
Awesome overview Andy of the ID Buzz - launching in Australia very late 2024 / early 2025 in both SWB and LWB Follower by GTX in Q2 2025… we have a few arriving from fort batch. can’t wait! Cheers Mark
I can't wait to get a GTX 😍
Love these this one is sick
Thank you. I miss it already as it's now with Kilted Competitions. Someone is going to be really lucky winning this.
I wholeheartedly agree with the heated steering wheel thing. I don't think I will ever get another new car without one. :)
@@jenny80myles funny isn't it. The thing you didn't think you needed, and now couldn't be without it 😂
We’re definitely not laughing. The ID Buzz always makes us smile. ☺️
@@Above-The-Clouds happy days 😊
Waiting on delivery of my Buzz cargo so watched prob every review on youtube lol! Great review mate, covered everything. Love the wheels n stance, yellow maybe not for me lol! How do you permanently switch off the assists? Its it through basic menus or is it through software? Thanks
@@pmwelectrics2313 you need vagcom or a dealer tool. It's a must as it's extremely annoying. Hope you enjoy the buzz. I'm sure you will 😊
@@THQAutomotive good man, thanks for the reply 👍
Love the Buzz and looking forward to the LWB dual motor arriving soon. Slightly bigger battery and upgraded infotainment. Hope that we get the heat pump in the UK cars with a camp mode.
I've got an older Model S alongside my van and it's 200 miles of range is enough and it took me all over Europe last year, a little more range would be a bonus. The Buzz seems to be comparable for range but it has much better peak charging speeds which is probably more important than the extra range.
Very interesting. Yes I believe when you are used to the ever growing charging network, range doesn't need to be a problem. For me and my driving, I don't even think about it. Having said that, extra range is always going to be a bonus 😊
Recently ordered ours, can't wait!
@@customstitchd you'll love it
I have done 60k in my cargo now and it really is a great machine 👍🏻
Awesome!! 🙌
Was that the bumpiest road in the world?!
If you've even driven to THQ you'd know the road. It literally is the best suspension testing road we could ask for... it's awful!! haha
Looks fantastic but for practical reasons I’ll stick with the T6.1
Yeah it's defo not a Transporter replacement. Totally different platform, for a totally different use.
Great to see your passion for the Buzz Andy. I know you’re going to want to replace it with the performance GTX one now 😉
100% 😝
Looking after my daughters Buzz while they're on hols. 1st EV I've even ridden in and totally knocked out by the acceleration, 20-50 is time warp quick.
Super impressive isn't it. Blooming love them
Cool looking minivan, but I still prefer my 2004 Honda Stepwagon RF7 Spada. Similar sized vehicles, but the Honda has 7 seats, 10 cup holders, a fridge, all the rear seats fold completely flat of out of the way and even has a couple of matching fabric grocery bags attached to the front seats.
The middle row seats flips to face backwards and can even be made as a table top. All seats are on runners to create more leg room or boot space depending what is needed and all seats can recline for extra comfort too.
Exterior wise in my opinion it has equally quirky looks, with its black crystal lights, pearlescent paint work, factory tinted windows and even has a remote sliding door.
It draws a lot of attention whenever it’s on the road as it looks so different from most other vehicles.
Mine has the legendary bulletproof k24 engine, accompanied by a 5 speed auto, which I can get around 40mpg on a run and is very quiet when scooting along too.
As I say the ID Buzz is cool looking and it’s good to see a modern day minivan. Then with the subtle touches you’ve done looks great 👍 but I’ll think I’ll stay with what I’ve got at the quarter of the cost 😉
I'm not familiar with the RF7, sounds impressive. I'll give it a google 😊
Just gets better and better 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍happy holiday everyone drive safe
@@peterwilding9744 thanks Peter, and to you.
I’ve just ordered a 2025 lime yellow cargo next years new centre screen is a great new feature for it
I'm sure you'll love it as much as I've loved this.
I absolutely love the look of these, but with the type of journeys i do and spending alot of time in rual locations, i really do worry about the range and being able to charge it when out if town
you can charge them off a standard 240v plug socket. It's obviously very slow though.
Wheels are spot on, keep telling the wife i think one of these would suit her as she only does short trips a couple of times a week.
This would be perfect for that. You should go and test drive one. Or even better, win this one with Kilted Competitions, haha
@@THQAutomotive Will defo be entering :D
@@THQAutomotive Correction, I have entered. Didnt realise it was live already :D
@@Adam_H_Official nice!!! Good luck ☺️
I’m thinking of getting a buzz cargo, would I be able to get a suspension lift of maybe 50mm’ish rather than a lower?
Been looking round but can’t seem to find anything.
I'm not aware of anything currently. They are high anyway, you shouldn't need to lift it, even if you are planing on rough terrain.
Thanks for the reply.
Wasn’t planning on any off roading it was purely for the looks, just fancied a bit of a lift with some OZ Rally Raid wheels and off road ‘ish’ tyres.
Not to everyone’s taste but each to their own. 😉
stunning
Thank you 🙏
I've over 8000km on mine. On local runs (city rural/50mph mix) I can get around 450km. Long journey on motorway at 110km/h curca 360km. On 19" wheels though.Great drive and practical
@@markbrowne8447 great to hear other Buzz owners rate them too.
@@markbrowne8447 I get 650 miles 20years on from my 1.9 tdi ,will you be able to say that I’m 100% sure you can’t & once it’s dead you’ll be harming the plant 10 x more than my tdi ever did 😂
Like the two-tone color combination of original ID Buzz versus single color. It's not an electric vehicle, it's a battery operated electrically charged vehicle ...
@@tapper701 ok, thanks for that
Watching you jiggling along tells me air ride isn't for me. The ride is one of the standard cars best features. Looks stunning though. Love the wheels!
@@jeremylockey3220 I promise it's that road, if you've ever visited THQ you'd know what I mean. Air isn't for everyone though, I appreciate that. I'm so pleased with the wheels. Defo my favourite set it's had.
Got one in the exact same colour. Not a vehicle to buy if you don’t like talking to people 😂
haha, for sure. People do love to come and chat about them don't they.
The wheels are stunning. Witch brand are they?
@@clyderenfrum6125 aren't they! We have some coming in Transporter fitment 👀
@@THQAutomotive thankx the quick response! I am the owner off an ID Buzz Max 1st with the standard 21' wheels. How can we contact....!?
@@clyderenfrum6125 there is a contact us link at the bottom of the Kilted page www.kiltedcompetitions.co.uk/contact/
I wonder how long the battery lasts till it needs a new one . .
I've looked into this and discovered Tesla taxi's with 350000 miles on that have only lost 3 miles of range.
@THQAutomotive . Oh right . Do wonder what impact that has on the selling of the cars etc .
@@jamestastic70 I guess time will tell. I've now had a Tesla, BMW i4, ID-Buzz and a Taycan and can honestly say, I've really enjoyed and been very impressed with them all. They have made me lazy though, I now despise visiting a fuel station 🤣
I do like the statement, I think VW have done an amazing job, sat in the most modified buzz I've seen lol. However, Do I want it? heck yeah. I'll be getting a ticket if its raffled off
Haha, good look with the raffle ☺️
@@THQAutomotive thanks and keep up the good work. cant wait to see what's next
I love the Buzz ❤. I don't get why some don't 🙄
@@Jezzafool same 🤷🏻♂️
Old Mercedes MK1 W638 Diesel For The Win 🤙👍
@@TESTA-CC I had one of them. That was the start of my modifying van journey.
I'd love those wheels on my T6, but can't see they do them? I'd just tell my wife they've always been there.....
These are customer 1 piece forged made by Navis. They are made to order and they are 1 off's. Speak to Navis Wheels. I reckon these would be a little over £2k for a Transporter.
Wauwaaweee 😘😘😘
Nice right ❤
I thought like most new shaped models of vehicles that I'd start to like them by now but they still do nothing for me at all. Find them a bit comical lookin whenever I see them on the road tbh 😂
I love the comical look of it. It's just so interesting compared to all the boxy, dull alternatives. I love how people smile at it. I've also never had so many people approach me when it's parked up to ask questions ☺️
Beautiful job, but NAFF illegal number plate.
@@grilnam9945 Thanks 🤷🏻♂️ It's my business name and my initials, so I like it. I gets it's slightly naughty spacing, if I ask told to change it, I will.
Nice, but nothing compared to my Ravenna blue T6.1 with air ride. It's more like an MPV
@@scottcyoung it's a totally different vehicle, they aren't trying to be a van. I love a T6.1, I've had several now and still have a 204dsg 4motion Caravelle at the moment. It's a fantastic vehicle. I just choose the Buzz over that as my daily for my usage.
so far out of my price range could never spend that type of money and I don't think its the future also still don't like how it looks
@@markwilliamson5234 you could win it for £4.99 with Kilted comps 😉

Wheelie bin..
Ok 😂
Great if you have 60 grand plus , then all the mods , one ugly motor , who’s buying electric, only company’s , if it’s so great why you getting rid
Personal opinion I guess. I do thinks its ugly, neither does anyone I know thats seen it in the flesh. I buy electric and love it. My wife also has an electric car. They drive so well, and so much more responsive and a pleasure to drive. Yes there are also the low BIK for company use. Why am I selling it? It's time for something new. This is the longest I can actually remember owning a vehicle since I got into this business. I've loved it that much, I've kept hold of it so long.
Electric is cheap to run, convenient, quiet and comfortable. 1 pedal driving is great as well.
The Buzz can be had for £39k on Autotrader, only a few grand more than a T6.1 panel van. Filling the Buzz up for just £6 at home overnight will quickly recoup that compared to diesel!
@@danrooke7372 Very true.
It's not worth it worst thing bw have made
I love it. I think you mean VW?
Those wheels are awesome! 🖤
I think we'll get some made for the Transporter
@@THQAutomotive mate I would definitely have a set on mine.. 👌🏽👌🏽
You can’t convince me pal it’s a ugly duckling that’ll be in the scrap yard before my 20y old T5 it couldn’t hold a candle to my 1.9 tdi black 2004 van
Haha, I'm not trying to convince anyone, just giving my opinion. I love the Transporter. Have you seen our preface build?
I would say the buzz is in a different category even though they're both vans, both have there pros and cons but there's no doubt that the buzz would be more enjoyable to drive with the torque and it's effortless ability to drive up hills without having a screaming van engine, 100% any petrol or diesel van would be better for much longer journeys, but for the shorter journeys and the city/town driving the T5 just can't compete.
@@THQAutomotiveI know ya weren’t trying to convince and also I don’t need any convincing. What a aesthetically pleasing looking vehicle ❤
@@Ben36363 I can't be with out a Transporter. For daily local driving though, I much prefer the Buzz.
@@joshpalmer4889 We're going to make a few sets of this wheel for Transporter fitment too
