Latest News
- There is no preconditioning on this model, not good for cold weather. This holds true for your only other EV also.
- My wife has a Buzz. Bad 1. In real world situations in Norway, with 80% charging range is 300 km in winter and 350 km in summer. It depends on what one wants to do. This is perfectly adequate for us. 2. Our previous 7 seater was only used twice in 10.5 years, to carry more than 5 people. For most people two rows (5 people) is enough. 3. We have never used the sound system. 4. & 5. In agreement with you. I find the car is far too aggressive most of the time. From my perspective with adaptive speed control, it stays too close to the car in front. Good 1. Cargo space. Our Buzz is now fitted with 6 large storage boxes to hold groceries, etc. These will also support a mattress at the same height as the folded rear seats. 2. Our dealer advised us against slow moving electric second row sliding doors! 3. Appearance. Yes, it is a cheerful car. We have white and yellow 4. We have never used the arm rests. My son does though, and he uses the sound system. 5. Appreciate the turning radius. Missing = width. The car is wide for narrow Norwegian roads.
- You totally nailed it. Straight to the point and observant. So many car reviewers are fixated on speed etc and miss the things that matter. Also, it’s the only vehicle to make use of the compact form factor of electric motors. No bonnet/frunk etc just tons of useable space. Like, it’s the size of a small SUV and has twice the space inside. This is the future form-factor of cars.
- It’s all about your requirements. Battery is OK if the charging infrastructure is reliable. Who really needs another row of seats? It’s fine already if you have 3 kids and all the junk you need to carry. If you have more seats bang goes your first positive 😂 My sound system is OK. I guess it’s a personal thing. I do however agree with you on the jerky movement and poor reversing camera. You forgot to mention the poor software which I consider to be the biggest negative.
- Firstly, I appreciate your clear and concise commentary, especially as english is not your first language. This video was from 1 year ago and the ID Buzz has moved on from what you originally tested. I am waiting for the latest video on the ID Buzz and I am eager to see what you think of the new long wheelbase multi seater with the bigger battery and the second motor driving the front wheels! Keep up the good work!
- Your issue number 5 unfortunately is user error. The car will always creep and never stop until you press the brake like you know. The way to use this is only gently pressing on the brake instead of a hard press that way auto hold does not engage, this allows you to release the brake and continue to move without using the accelerator. Think of it as one pedal driving using the brake not the accelerator.
