[image] Maybe due to its strong popularity on the island why I so happen to embrace and admire the vw bus. My Dad actually owned one back in his early days and I enjoyed the loud sound of the engine ( similarly to that of a lawn mower). I’m a bit late on the somewhat newly introduced VW ID buzz…

The only sure thing about it is that it will be a lot faster and a lot safer than the old VW microbus. Heck, a little kid’s tricycle is faster than a VW microbus.

[image] VDCdriver: The only sure thing about it is that it will be a lot faster and a lot safer than the old VW microbus. I forgot how slow the vw microbus was. It was painfully slow. The new one is reported at top speed of 99mph. Still slow but like you said, a lot faster than previous…

$60,00-$70,000 is a bit too much for me.

Yup! Zero to 60 took more than 30 seconds, which means that it was unsafe to drive one on an expressway. Because of that, it might not have been possible for some owners to experience the thrill :smirk: of driving at its top speed of 65.

[image] texases: $60,00-$70,000 is a bit too much for me. Some of the microbuses on Hemmings go for over $80,000. In a strange way, the ID Buzz is actually a bargain. I like the look and utility, but the price is off putting for me too as in the range of a bit over 230 miles according the fu…

I don’t have fond memories of the old VW microbus My dad bought one new back in the day It definitely had “the loud sound of the engine” The engine literally EXPLODED going up a hill After that, my dad swore off VW vehicles and started buying Toyota

[image] jtsanders: Some of the microbuses on Hemmings go for over $80,000. Anyone who would pay that is a “gawdam” fool. I can hardly think of a worse vehicle, especially for all that money.

I bought a 71 VW Bus brand new. It was a great vehicle for the 6 of usd. I did not care for the air cooled engine. Max crusing speed was listed at 68 mph but mine would actuall get up to 72 on the lever but I had to adjust the valves every time I changed the oil. The majotity of tractor trailers I …

Those old VW microbus have a cult like following, the people that like them, love them, and can pay big money for them… I think the TreeHugger’s will love these as well… I think it is kinda cool for what it is, but I would not want one, like the old/new Beetle’s, neat little cars, not my cup of tea…
