What's the buzz, tell me what's a-happening

Well, it's certainly a stunning looking vehicle, every bit as iconic as the original. The VW I.D Buzz has landed on our shores and is in showroom near you. You'll need very deep pockets though, it's not cheap. Apparently a camper version is on the cards.

Ideal for a large family.

It looks nice but I'm guessing you will need deep pockets to afford one

VW are becoming a bit of a joke now.
The old build quality has definitely gone the only difference now is that the plastics are (slightly) better than other mainstream cars on the interior.
The parts costs are eye watering, I once wanted a plastic cover for my camper T5 and it was only available from VW it was £96 plus vat for a piece of moulded plastic no bigger than 200 x 150mm. it was ridiculously priced.

they keep trading on the "camper" image and the ID buzz is the next iteration of that but in all honesty there are far better vans out there to use as a base van for a camper conversion and they are far cheaper..

That's just for the standard base price. If you want sat nav, heated seats/steering wheel, decent sound system or any of the other extra comforts that come as standard on many none German cars, you can add almost another £10K on that price by buying the various addon packs.

Replacement parts from all manufacturers are both expensive and scarce now, from what I’ve heard, parts departments rarely stock expensive replacement parts as they are dead stock/money on the shelf. They mostly need to order it with varying wait times, sometimes even months…
