Volkswagen ID. Buzz: 3 advantages, 3 disadvantages

Which aspect of the electric bus have we not tested?! I would like to refer you to our review of the ID. Buzz, the Volkswagen ID. Buzz range test and the backstory on fast charging with the ultimate electric family car.

But we haven't told you everything yet. Below you can read 3 advantages and 3 disadvantages about the ID. Buzz. Decide for yourself how they influence your opinion of the fun electric Volkswagen…

Benefit 1: No stress

Advantage 2: Great all-round visibility

At a time when new cars have increasingly smaller windows, it is a relief to ride in a bus with glass all around. It's been a long time since we saw so much over our left shoulder.

Advantage 3: Smart idea

Disadvantage 1: Useless pull-out seat

The extendable seat is too low for our long thighs. That's because you can't tilt the seat. The chair does go up or down, but you cannot tilt the seat itself.

Disadvantage 3: Cheap clamp
