VW ID.Buzz European Deliveries Mega Thread
Well, I joined the forum today as we collect our 1st Edition Buzz next week and as we live in Catalunya, I must be posting in the right thread.

I started pestering the salesman 2 years ago and placed the order with deposit the day after they opened the order book. Spec wise, it does have electric rear doors and tailgate, it doesn't have a tow hook or the 2 raised platforms in the boot. The seat fabric is all grey and felt really nice, but it will be interesting to see how it deals with the dust here. I'll find out about the driving options when I get hands on.
Now it is the middle of their showroom, and I have never seen so many salesmen smiling all the time like the Cheshire cat.
I'll report back when we get it.

Yep! And do share how you use it, what mileage you are getting, and where you charge in your trips. I'm particularly interested in trips up to the Pyrenees.and as we live in Catalunya, I must be posting in the right thread.

What are your likes/dislikes about it so far? Thoughts on build quality?
We are collecting our Buzz tomorrow morning.
Today I had to drop off some documents to the dealer and got a chance to sit in it and hook up the ID Connect app. & also have a basic check out of some of the goodies. A nice surprise was finding out it has a massage function in the front seats. I'm sure that there will be other things I will find out about once I get it.
Tonight is going to feel like Christmas eve when I was a kid.

We collected the Buzz from the dealers this morning.
As far as I can tell, it has :-
Software 3.2.0
Electric rear doors
Park assist
Heated front seats and steering wheel
Massage front seats
No raised platform bits in the boot
No towing hook
It is a great thing to drive, good suspension & ride, goes well in normal mode. You definitely notice the weight when if you start slinging it around, but it steers and corners well at sensible speeds. Very deceptive lack of noise at speed, I kept finding we were going about 20kph faster than I thought from the lack of sensory inputs.
Had to switch off all the lane/braking assist gubbins which annoyed me.
Tested charging with our Wallbox, which worked fine, I want to reduce the input rate so our solar system can cope, as it can only handle <7kW output, any drain higher than that switches the system over to the mains supply,which isn't a problem but if we can charge off our solar it would be better.
All in all, more than very happy. My insurance company didn't have one in their database, so had to add it in and get back to me with a quote. When I asked the salesman, he thought that there were less than 30 Buzzs in all of Spain at the moment.
It is certainly a different kettle of fish from the F80 M3 I sold to buy it and I am very glad I made that change.

Great. Congratulations!
I am only somewhat familiar with the situation in Catalunya but I know of very few chargers. I hope it improves quickly.
Pulsar Plus I think, deffo no Wallbox 2 way charging units available here yet.
I would need to get our solar system installers involved if we did fit a 2 way unit, as their very clever Outback system handles all the switching between solar/battery/mains faultlessly, but I'm not sure where bidirectional power in would go. But I am an electrical numptie, so when these units become available, I will talk to their techies and see what they say.
