Volkswagen's show-stopping throwback is now available in the UK. Should you jump on the bandwagon?
last summer. It has been awarded What Car? car of the year for one thing. For another, VW has confirmed that it will unveil a GTX variant of the model in 2023, which will likely have four-wheel drive and up to 335hp. Moreover, if the attention it garnered while in PH’s possession is anything to go by, word about the ID Buzz has spread like wildfire among the general public.
Predictably, some of this goodwill evaporates when you come to use the notoriously unhelpful infotainment system, but let’s gloss over that and simply acknowledge that the Buzz has it, and therefore you’ll have to live with it. Some of the very annoying stuff - the voice, the absurdly zealous lane-keep assist - can be switched off at least.
Moreover, driving smoothly and considerately tends to bring out the best in the Buzz. Instantaneous response and the beneficial weight distribution afforded by the skateboard MEB platform means it easily exceeds your expectations for such a tall minivan. It steers keenly enough, too, and clearly some effort has been expended on making the rolling refinement live up to the hush afforded by the rear-mounted electric motor.
However, given what VW is paying homage to here, it’s certainly possible that any dynamic shortcomings are largely beside the point. No one bought a camper or a microbus to crow about the handling. If the anecdotes - and more than a few films - are to be believed, they did so with an enduring and light-hearted sense of adventure.
