I was in the process of signing up for one on a very competitive 2 year lease. Existing insurer wouldn't touch electric vehicles. Finally got quotes elsewhere £2.5k - £4k for a year's cover. So sadly had to pull out. No a reflection on this van more electric vans in general.
I know this is subjective but I'll stick my neck out and say this is way overpriced in comparison to the rivals even taking into account the design. Even though you can fit two euro sized pallets in there, in the real world this would be hard to do with loaded pallets with let's say even 100kg each. Reason being that normally you would load one from the back and the other from the side due to the long reach from the rear that would be required from a standard forklift. No way of loading a pallets from the side on this since a euro pallet is 800x1200 hence that side opening was poorly thought for commercial purposes imho.
Great vehicle- looks sleek, usual high VW finish inside and out, but, the price is way way too high, sorry, I can’t sanction that level of spend, get that sorted and I’ll be back.
The battery management system and user interface improved a lot with the ID7. I would wait until this is also applied to the ID Buzz. The current model is overpriced.
Its too expensive for work use, I'll have to stay with the Peugeot Partner. It also wont be a classic as the batteries are sealed in the frame so 15 years and its scrap

I am still missing the small overlap crash test! Why?

Drive a stallantis van and could do with 200mile range for London trips as have to stop once for 20mins.
I like the vans appearance but it's an EV and it'll be a great flop.

I thought, oooohh that looks nice, but then I heard it’s fully electric - OFF ❗️
