WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.680
From the moment I laid eyes on this car, I knew that as a self-proclaimed cool

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:10.320
dad, I had to have one. So, late last

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:14.960
year, I put down a deposit. But here's the thing. I haven't actually gone

00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:20.080
through with my purchase yet. And after spending the last week with this demo

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:24.240
car that was provided by VW Canada, I got to say that there's some things that

00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:28.640
make me want it less, but also some things that make me want it way more.

00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:33.280
First up, there's the look. If you think this thing is striking in pictures, I

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:37.760
got to tell you, in person, it is even better. I think that Volkswagen's work,

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:43.520
taking a classic aesthetic and modernizing it without losing what made

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.600
it so iconic, is unparalleled here. And

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:50.640
I'm not the only one who thinks so. This is by far the best conversation starter

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:54.800
vehicle I have ever driven. And this is coming from a guy who drove this and

00:00:52.879 --> 00:00:59.520
this. And a big part of that is Volkswagen's daring decision to bring

00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:04.080
back the bold two-tone color schemes of the original microbus. And when I say

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:09.200
daring, I really do mean daring. Consumer trends have overwhelmingly been

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:13.119
towards monochromatic vehicles over the last few decades. But it's clear from

00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:18.479
the reception to this vehicle that at least some consumers are ready for a

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:22.640
change. See, Volkswagen does have a solid color version of the Buzz, but

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:26.400
apparently it's been selling so poorly that they've started subsidizing the

00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:30.560
dealers who have them on their lots to wrap them two-tone to get consumers to

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:34.240
buy them. Coming around back, we've got parking proximity sensors galore, as

00:01:32.479 --> 00:01:36.960
well as a rear windshield wiper blade. Never take that for granted now that

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:41.920
I've seen how much Porsche charges for one. Uh, as well as

00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:47.280
our Dang it. Sometimes with the key in my pocket, this is unlocked and I can

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:52.000
get my charger out of it. Sometimes I got to unlock the car first. Can't find

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:57.040
the pattern, boys and girls. Since we're down here, Volkswagen boasts a range of

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:59.880
about 375 km depending on the variant of

00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:06.719
the Buzz and charging rates of up to 200 kW. So, when I say boasts, I'm using

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:08.399
that word extremely loosely here. The ID

00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:14.560
Buzz suffers from what I could best describe as an identity crisis. See, on

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:16.400
the surface, she's a people mover. She's

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:22.720
for camping. She's for the great outdoors. She's for road trips. I mean,

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:25.280
good gravy. Look at the room in this

00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:30.080
thing. But under the hood, she's better equipped for short trips to the grocery

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:34.640
store or the soccer pitch. I'm not saying that the Buzz is a car for

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:39.200
nobody. I mean, I have a level two charger in my garage and I don't mind

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:43.200
charging up every couple of days. But if you're the kind of person who wants to

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:47.200
take long road trips or you are totally dependent on public charging

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:51.120
infrastructure, it's hard to recommend something with such limited range. But

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:55.040
that doesn't mean it's out of the running. Ivonne and I have been shopping

00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:59.519
kind of hardcore for a new family vehicle recently. And she went from

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:04.400
rating the buzz a three out of 10 from seeing it in pictures to a 7 out of 10

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:08.400
after the first test drive to okay, are we buying one? After spending the last

00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:14.159
week with it. And out of every vehicle we saw, the Buzz was rated number one by

00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:16.239
its most important customer, my kids.

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.959
And there's a lot of little details that contribute to that. I mean, Volkswagen's

00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:24.640
been designing cars for as long as most people on Earth have been alive, and

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:30.560
that experience shows. I mean, look here. Here's a simple thing. Ingress and

00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:33.760
egress. Getting into this car is so

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:36.000
painless compared to almost any other

00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:39.840
family vehicle. Look at that. I mean, I'm not the tallest guy in the world,

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:45.360
but I can practically flip and walk around in here. And my 10-year-old

00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:47.680
daughter legitimately can. She can stand

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:52.400
in this car. So getting into the back seat, it's not a chore anymore. This is

00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:55.519
big. Volkswagen has taken a nononsense approach to visibility. There's no

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.280
middle seat in the back, so the driver has a clear shot out the back window,

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:03.120
which along with the rest of what I call the panoramic Windows throughout the

00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:06.400
car, really does contribute to a heightened sense of situational

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:10.879
awareness, which is pretty important when you're carrying precious cargo.

00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:15.040
There's also a ton of leg room, even in the back row. Like, how cool is that?

00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:18.720
with the middle seats being able to adjust forward and back depending on how

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:23.040
much you require or if you need to have these folded down to carry cargo. And

00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:28.240
there's little hidey-holes like all over the place to stash snacks and books and

00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:33.199
drinks. Um, not to mention for every seat in the six seat configuration,

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.800
there's a USBC charging port which is

00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:39.840
great for long road trip. Okay. And since we're

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:44.320
disappointed, I actually want to talk about the seating

00:04:41.960 --> 00:04:49.759
configurations. See, here's the thing. I can live with the limited range, but

00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:53.360
what's a little tougher for me is the seven seat configuration would have

00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:59.199
another seat right here in the middle where I am now, but is only available in

00:04:56.320 --> 00:05:04.560
rear wheel drive in crappier colors. Volkswagen, can you explain this to me?

00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:08.280
I want all-wheel drive and seven seats and a cool color cuz there's still so

00:05:07.039 --> 00:05:13.199
much more to love. Let's look at the

00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:19.400
cargo. Check this out. I can store all my swag from

00:05:15.080 --> 00:05:23.440
ltstore.com and my backpack and uh

00:05:19.400 --> 00:05:25.840
wow, really not much else. But hold on,

00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:25.840
it gets

00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:34.880
better. There we go. You can fit so much

00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:39.520
cargo in this bad boy. But again, the

00:05:36.919 --> 00:05:45.360
caveats, not if you want to seat more than four people in this gigantic

00:05:41.919 --> 00:05:47.120
vehicle while also carrying cargo. The

00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:51.360
sevenseater option is the cool one. Volkswagen, I need the three. Since

00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:55.120
we're back here, we got a 12vt plug and a pretty good look at the dual

00:05:52.960 --> 00:05:59.039
interfaces for the rear zone climate control, which is nice. You don't have

00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:03.199
people fighting over who has controllable climate control. Not that I

00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.919
speak from experience. Power lift gate. Pretty common these

00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:09.759
days. Why don't we talk about the experience for the driver? Oh yeah, this

00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:16.319
window's cool. It like goes in and slides back. And oh yeah, this mirror is

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:17.840
less cool. It's square. So like it's

00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:22.479
harder to see not just the lane beside you, but also the one over there. I

00:06:19.919 --> 00:06:26.479
don't like it. Oh, they're also heated, ventilated, and have a massage function.

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:32.639
The middle of which is the most important one to me. And it

00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:35.680
is primo ventilation. No swast for this

00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.639
guy while on a road trip. While we're up

00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:41.600
here, we can look at some more of the hidey-holes. They're in the doors. They're right here. You can put your key

00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:44.800
there. There's a spot to put your phone book. I'm not sure where they're going

00:06:43.039 --> 00:06:49.360
with that. Another one here by the glove box. Got your glove box. Oh, boom. Cup

00:06:47.039 --> 00:06:52.800
holders. And I think this thing like Oh, yeah. Look at that. It pops out like

00:06:50.880 --> 00:06:57.120
that. These are cool. There's these modular little things so you can adjust

00:06:54.479 --> 00:07:01.039
this guy. And they're functional. You can open a bottle or scrape your

00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:06.080
windshield. Oh, yeah. Oh, right. And the whole thing comes out if you just plane

00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:09.919
don't want it. See you later, buddy. Ah, dual USBC's for the driver, by the way.

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:14.720
And before you say, "Oh, come on, L. It's one of those that's probably for your passenger." No, no, they're mine.

00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:18.160
They've got their own. It's in the door. These are mine. Probably the coolest

00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:22.000
thing in here, though, is the electrochic moon roof. With just a swipe

00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:27.840
of this interface, you can adjust the opacity of the glass on top of you. What

00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:34.160
I don't like so much is that this along with almost everything else is touch.

00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:39.520
Now to be clear, I am a digital first kind of person. I don't mind interfacing

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:43.199
with a touchcreen. But what I am not a big fan of Oh, I found the power button.

00:07:41.520 --> 00:07:47.199
Not that it works to turn it off or anything. Ah, you hold it. By the way,

00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:51.080
before you smart Alex or like Lionus, the start stop button is right there.

00:07:48.880 --> 00:07:58.560
Look at this. Hello, buddy. Oh, there. Now it goes.

00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.560
No.

00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:04.639
No. The point is, I don't mind a

00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:08.800
touchcreen, but what I'm not a huge fan of is unnecessary capacitive buttons,

00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:12.879
and they're everywhere. They're under the touchcreen for the climate control

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:16.800
and volume adjustments, and they're on the steering wheel, more importantly,

00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:20.479
where every once in a while, I'll be turning hand overhand, and I'll brush

00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.479
against something or I'll bump something and end up activating it.

00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:32.800
I know the door is open. Shut up. We'll drive in a second. I just have to tell

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:37.599
them first about our sponsor. Thanks to Eaton Power for sponsoring this video.

00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:41.519
Their Trip Light series of UPS systems stand out thanks to their Bright Layer

00:08:39.599 --> 00:08:46.080
remote monitoring software that's fully included. That's right, no annual fees

00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:50.000
or subscriptions. A simple color-coded dashboard lets you

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:54.640
easily keep an eye on your systems, highlighting issues to quickly solve and

00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:59.440
avoid downtime. Plus, end users can quickly check their UPS health with an

00:08:56.560 --> 00:09:03.760
intuitive LCD display on each model. So, whether for a single system or an entire

00:09:01.760 --> 00:09:07.120
fleet, you can get reliable battery backup, surge protection, and

00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:11.040
cloud-based remote monitoring with Eaton's Trip Light UPS systems. Learn

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:14.480
more by checking out our link in the description. Gear shifts are handled

00:09:12.560 --> 00:09:18.080
with this little interface right here. Do it again to go into regenerative

00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:23.839
braking mode. Do it again to go into coasting mode.

00:09:19.800 --> 00:09:25.839
Then backwards to go into reverse. It's

00:09:23.839 --> 00:09:29.279
okay. Feels a little cheap, but functions just fine. And I'd say the

00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:35.839
same about the backup cam to be perfectly honest with you. It's a little bit jittery and stuttery sometimes, but

00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:40.720
unlike my car, at least it actually shows you where the heck it is that you

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:44.160
are going. And the bird's eye camera is excellent from my experience. really

00:09:42.640 --> 00:09:49.440
giving you a good idea of how close you are to things. Now, let's talk about

00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:52.640
what I like more about this car than almost anything else. And I'm going to

00:09:50.800 --> 00:09:56.399
show you. If you're like me, you might be the kind of person who, you know,

00:09:54.480 --> 00:10:02.240
doesn't always remember to put in your destination before you start moving.

00:09:58.800 --> 00:10:05.680
Unlike my Tyan, which by the way is a

00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:08.320
Volkswagen Group vehicle, I can just

00:10:05.680 --> 00:10:12.880
type a couple quick letters. Boom. Create a new drive. And yeah, if you

00:10:10.560 --> 00:10:17.839
drive a Tesla or a Rivian, this is not going to look that impressive to you.

00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:21.839
But as someone who either has to use

00:10:17.839 --> 00:10:24.240
voice in my Tyan or has this horrible

00:10:21.839 --> 00:10:28.079
drawing on the screen interface in my wife's new

00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:32.160
vehicle, I got to tell you, whatever reduction in distraction that a car

00:10:30.160 --> 00:10:36.480
manufacturer thinks they are achieving by disabling the on-screen keyboard,

00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:41.440
they are achieving the opposite. Because being able to key in a special character

00:10:38.560 --> 00:10:45.680
here as needed is way faster than trying to do it six separate times with voice

00:10:43.839 --> 00:10:51.279
and then ultimately giving up and putting it in on your phone. Oh, by the

00:10:47.680 --> 00:10:53.600
way, I flipping love this. Not only does

00:10:51.279 --> 00:11:00.519
the heads-up display interface with both the built-in navigation, so this thing,

00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:03.839
and also your Android Auto navigation,

00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:06.399
but the front dash has this cool little

00:11:03.839 --> 00:11:11.279
light that flashes all the way across in various colors when you need to turn

00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:13.519
right or turn left. It's just a really

00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:18.160
nice little touch. And you know, if you're on a long road trip, for example,

00:11:16.800 --> 00:11:22.240
you're driving in a straight line for a long time, it really gets your attention

00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.240
and makes you think, "Oh yeah, I need to turn. Time to move over to this

00:11:27.079 --> 00:11:32.959
lane." That was maximum

00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:38.640
acceleration. Right off the line, she's got a lot of torque. She is still an

00:11:34.800 --> 00:11:40.880
electric car, but once you're off the

00:11:38.640 --> 00:11:43.839
line, my son, I think, put it better than I could.

00:11:42.560 --> 00:11:48.640
Did you press the pedal down all the way, Dad? When I was showing him how

00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:52.959
fast this car accelerates, she's really not super powerful. I've also found that

00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:57.440
the acceleration and braking curve have taken a little bit for me to get used to

00:11:55.120 --> 00:12:01.839
because of that quick off the line that I guess they're trying to make the car

00:11:58.880 --> 00:12:06.560
feel a bit peppier than it is. It's a little lurchy to start and because of

00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:11.760
the way Volkswagen handles the mixing between pressing the pedal and

00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:14.000
activating regenerative braking and then

00:12:11.760 --> 00:12:18.560
mashing it and actually activating the physical brakes. I find that when I'm

00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:25.120
coming to a stop, it's really hard to do perfectly smoothly. My family gets

00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:27.040
pretty motion sick pretty easily and has

00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:31.360
complained that they get more nauseous in this car than in other ones that I

00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:35.760
drive. I can't say for certain that it's not a skill issue, but it is something

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:39.120
that I observed. So, it's iPhone like in the sense that there's no back button.

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:44.720
There's no back in the interface. You just you press the home button and that

00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:47.600
takes you to the built-in navigation.

00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:50.720
Thanks. Your voice assistant, which is cool. You can give it its own name so

00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:54.480
that it'll trigger on whatever keyword you see fit. Charging, so you can

00:12:52.560 --> 00:12:58.720
monitor that in a separate place from right here. I mean, I guess for what the

00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:02.480
range is, they want you really paying close attention to that. As far as I can

00:13:00.560 --> 00:13:06.639
tell, there's no meaningful way to reconfigure what you want your home

00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:10.639
screen to be. I didn't notice this. The regenerative braking goes up in sport,

00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:14.399
but if you go to custom and configure it, regenerative braking is not one of

00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:19.120
the options that they actually allow you to play around with. So, I guess it

00:13:17.040 --> 00:13:23.519
would just be driving dynamics. I don't know. Who knows? Uh, I didn't find a

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:28.720
huge difference between comfort and sport in terms of performance or even

00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:31.200
suspension. It's pretty it's pretty

00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:35.920
floaty, but no more so than I would expect from a people mover. How about

00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:40.079
this? Let's try out the assistive driving features. So, I'm going to

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:45.760
switch her over to semi-auto drive assist mode. Uh, okay. So, it's both

00:13:43.040 --> 00:13:50.160
lane assist and adaptive cruise control. I'm going to go ahead and set that.

00:13:48.079 --> 00:13:53.600
Let's set it to 30 km an hour cuz we're coming up on a school zone. And I

00:13:52.079 --> 00:13:57.279
actually really like using cruise control in school zones because what it

00:13:55.120 --> 00:14:03.279
means is I never have to pay any attention to anything here. Okay. I can

00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:07.199
have my foot covering the brake, right? And then I can just be looking at

00:14:05.040 --> 00:14:11.920
absolutely nothing but like what's going on in my peripheral here. Uh I don't

00:14:09.760 --> 00:14:18.320
have to think about speed management. Something like that. Yep.

00:14:15.079 --> 00:14:20.680
Okay. Oh boy. and we're almost off the

00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:26.000
road immediately. Pretty cool. It's been a mixed bag. Sometimes

00:14:23.760 --> 00:14:30.399
it was really good, needing basically no intervention for long periods of time.

00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:34.519
Um, this one time I took it into a construction zone, though. Doesn't

00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:39.360
understand pylons. So, yeah, it's no Tesla autopilot. Also,

00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:44.480
where are we going right now, buddy? Where are we going? Are you going to stop? Oh, man. The way that it breaks at

00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:48.720
like the last second, I'm pretty sure you can adjust it. Like I think that's

00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:51.920
this button like follow distance or something. Oh yeah, there we go. There's

00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:56.040
your follow distance button. Okay, never mind. I figured it out. Oh man, I hate

00:14:53.600 --> 00:15:00.440
the touch volume control. So you can either swipe like

00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:05.120
this or you can like mash this thing on the one side.

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:09.040
Yeah, like the whole thing moves. It's on like a rocker. See

00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:15.680
that? What I like more than the volume adjustment though speakers. uh they

00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:19.680
partnered with Harman Carden actually and dude it like sounds pretty decent. I

00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:24.720
don't know what they did whether it's the tuning or just the fact that it is

00:15:21.839 --> 00:15:31.519
so spacious in here compared to a regular car but the sound feels big and

00:15:28.079 --> 00:15:33.760
the sound stage is really wide. Um I

00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:43.500
think it sounds great. There's an audio one. There we go. Look at that built-in

00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:50.850
EQ. I mean seriously, how cool is that?

00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:58.240
Are they the best speakers ever? Absolutely not. But my point of

00:15:55.759 --> 00:16:03.440
reference here is my minivan. And minivans have had so little competition

00:16:00.959 --> 00:16:09.600
here in North America for the last realistically 10 almost 20 years that

00:16:06.560 --> 00:16:12.160
having anybody come in and make them a

00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:14.959
little better, a little more exciting is exciting for me. As for parking, you

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:20.240
know what? Let's try and get it to do the thing. Searching for parking spaces like do I do I move while I'm searching

00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:25.680
for parking? I couldn't get it to do it. Oh, wait. Do we have one? Okay. Hey, it

00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:29.600
found one. All right, let's try it. Hey, and if it screws up, it'll hit your car.

00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:33.839
Belle, don't hit my car. I love that we're next to Belle's car. Hey, good

00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:36.560
luck, Belle's car. Whatever. You don't like driving a Tesla

00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:45.040
anyway, do you? Is this going to make it? We're going to We're going to hit the freaking curb.

00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:46.920
Oh, here we go. Oh my god, it's doing

00:16:45.040 --> 00:16:53.880
it. It's going to go up on the curb. Just We just climbed the curb.

00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:56.000
When do I hit the brake here, boys?

00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:03.120
Quality job, Volkswagen Group. And I mean, look, okay, that

00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:07.199
sample size of one, I'm not saying it wouldn't work a lot of the time, but

00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:12.079
I've made my position on autonomous vehicle operation pretty clear if it

00:17:09.600 --> 00:17:16.160
doesn't handle edge cases. It ain't autonomous. With that said, I can park

00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:22.799
my own car, so I don't really care about that. What I do care about is the price.

00:17:19.760 --> 00:17:26.480
Yes, VW is mixing up the minivan market,

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:28.799
but VW is also mixing up the uh minivan

00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:33.679
price point a little bit. The ID Buzz cost tens of thousands of dollars more

00:17:31.360 --> 00:17:38.799
than competing people movers, which is a pretty tough pill to swallow until you

00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:44.000
consider that I don't really think there are competing people movers. At least

00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:48.400
not yet and at least not here in North America. Whether you're looking at an

00:17:45.760 --> 00:17:53.679
Odyssey or a Sienna, the build quality and the feature richness of those

00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:57.200
vehicles just isn't that close. Like

00:17:53.679 --> 00:17:59.440
every seat in the ID Buzz feels like I

00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:05.120
am driving around in a freaking living room compared to those other vehicles.

00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:09.280
So, while I don't love the price, it's not like I'm looking at it going, "Well,

00:18:07.600 --> 00:18:17.679
I can't even figure out where they spent this because I 100% can. I just wish

00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:17.679
they'd spent a little more on a bigger

00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:23.679
battery. Subscribe to ShortCircuit. See you later.
