Thomas Majchrzak - I've been subscribing to Autogefuhl for only 2 months, I can't tell you how much I enjoy your reviews. I am very impressed with your command of English, your choice of words are excellent. You relate to me as someone who truly enjoys his job, also relate as a very honest, sincere gentleman. I'm 72 years old, have been very much interested (obsessed?) with cars since the age of 16, that high level of interest remains unchanged. Once again I think your reviews are terrific, I appreciate that you point out the negatives (using tact and restraint) as part of your review process. I wish you the best in life, hope your enthusiasm and integrity never falters. My best wishes to you and yours. Bob, Jacksonville, Florida, USA. PS I hope the T6 2016 commemorative passenger multivan will be available here, I think it would be very successful.
Robert Kurowsky Bob, those are really words that touched my heart, thank you. Glad to have you here as part of the community! Unfortunately, I think you have to rely on an import company for this, Volkswagen wont officially offer it in the US :/
I absolutely love how it looks, I would have liked to see more chrome accents I think that would make it more completely old school. I think the black plastic breaks the design apart for me. This would be a dream to have though, even though the styling is not perfect it still looks iconic to me, and combining that with the practical aspects of the van itself, I think it's great.
LOVE the 2 tone -- heck Rolls Royce offered 2 tone vehicles for decades! Great interior - very versatile so I can see this replacing the large SUV for family use or even for airport transport companies!
One more item: At the beginning of your reviews, I would appreciate knowing the country and town where your reviews are taking place. I visited Germany many years ago, super enjoyed the Octoberfest and Munich itself for 5 days, next taking the train to Hamburg (spent 5 days there), ending my trip by taking a train ride to Amsterdam. The scenery from Munich to Hamburg was beautiful. Thanks!
Robert Kurowsky Sure good point, I will do that when shooting the next one. In some reviews, I already did include that information. Usually I tell you when looking at the GPS and include special greetings to the viewers from the respective country :) Afaik I also told Sweden here when we were checking GPS/interior
This is such a great car with so many practical features for a big family. I had an old t3 while I was at uni. Loved it. Great memories. This one looks really beautiful and that little table. At some point I was wondering if it can turn into a transformer and save the planet. It probably can. German engineering at its best. Awesome car and fantastic presentation.
Even though I'm not in the market for this kind of vehicle, and for other cars either right now, I enjoy your reviews a lot, it's almost like going for a test drive myself. I did travel as a passenger in both the T4 and T5 and and I found them confortable for long journeys, especially the T5, very spaceous and I didn't get car-sick in it, and I usually do when I'm the rear passenger in a small car. It is very stable and solid, almost like traveling by train. Great review! :)
Last time I drove a Transporter was in 1999...it had like 60hp ;-) well i'm sure this new one is much improved! Black one with those chrome wheels would be my choice. Great review again, you travel all over the world it seems!
Great review and I do love the VW Transporter but what I don't like is the wing mirrors sticking out so far. Why can't VW fit vertical mirrors like on many other vans these days?
I've seen the dual-colour version of this, both at dealership and the street and it looks just awesome! It gets expensive tho. V. good choice still if you r after a vehicle of this size.
I think that the smaller Diesel engines also have their market share, for example in the regions where you pay taxes according to the engine's power. And also if the Transporter is used to cary stuff around the city or a small town, for example as a plumber's or a wall painter's vehicle who just moves around the city to his customers., they would be ok with the 84 hp engine.
I really like the look of this new van and I bet it's nice to drive as well, espeically with the automatic gearbox. Thanks for the Review. Btw, how come you're driving in Schweden?
Vandioa Thanks! Well there are the cars that we test 'at home' and there are the driving events where we test the cars abroad - this was a latter one :)
Anyone notice at 34:14, the colour of the van (silver top and blue lower) matched what the reviewer was wearing? And he also said that this would be the colour combination he would pick if he were to buy one :p Maybe a new trend is emerging :p automakers take note!! :P
wie immer ein toller ausführlicher test! kleine zwischenfrage, weißt du ggf., ob der t6 auch mit dem parkassistenten zum vollautomatischen (naja fast :)) einparken in längs/querlücken zu haben ist?
LLawliet182 Vielen Dank! Dieser neuste Assistent fehlt meinen Informationen nach, den finden wir in der Regel nur in den neusten Modellen mit MQB wie dem Touran
***** Volkswagen California should be coming very soon. It's the Multivan with a pop-up roof and a kitchen and two beds. I just checked, it's already out here in Europe.
I find the transporter has a big cult following in uk and are of excellent build quality I am a plumber and opted for the Renault traffic as for practical reasons this t6 transporter only still 5 speed and every little creature comfort you pay for !!! The Renault and transit has the bulk head hatch for 3 meter length of pipe and timber the transporter does not vw are lagging behind on the cabin office toys to Renault and ford bench seat office clip board etc is very useful maybe I will look again in 4 years when vw look at the basics again
Zajebisty jest ten biało-czarwony multivan. Ten T6 powinien paradować w Warszawie albo w Poznaniu przed czołgami Leopard 2. Polacy mogą być zawiedzeni , że to Volkswagen ale sami już nic nie wyprodukują bo nie potrafią. Za to dobrze montują auta w Poznaniu Tychach i Gliwicach. VW, FCA , GM zmontowane w Polsce najlepsze auta dla ludzi w Europie.
Hi Thomas! Thanks for good reviews :) I´m in need of a good 7 seat car and have been looking at VW Caddy Life Maxi because I need 7 seats and still want luggage space which you just don´t get in any usual 7 seater. However this car seems to not bee a top safety pick :/ What are your thoughts between caddy life maxi and t5/t6 regarding the safety and driving experience. Did you try the maxi life version? I am going to drive my soon to be 4 kids so safety comes before everything. best regards
marics1980 Hey, thanks! Hmm I think its a question of how much space you have and how is the budget. Caddy is WAY cheaper. And how much space you got for parking? Less parking space, less budget, little kids: Caddy. Bigger kids, more parking space, more budget: T6 :)
Thank you for the excellent video! Professional and informative overview in details! It is just a pity there is no version I need: "CaravelleTrendline", - new car have better possibilities in sit transformation - completely foldable backrest.
+Wanda Rolich Thanks! Yeah thats a mix of the versions shown :) I did show a Caravelle in the static world premiere though: ua-cam.com/video/W00qamTrYZk/v-deo.html
I would pick the special Launch edition! This makes me so sad. I just bought a 2003 T4 because that is the last model we have in the US. It is quite unfortunate to be a VW lover in America so few choices.
those 2-coloursa version look ugly from outside - like car had a serious accident and was repaired in a barn in not a professional way. Also the interiour blue or red lack does not look good - reminds me of Trabant or Wartburg interiours where there was pure metal without any plastic elements inside. It does look cheap. Also I wonder how those lacked elements will look after several years of use. Any scretch on lack will be much more annoying than on plastic or leather. Nice review but I missed the information about adjustment possibility of the steering wheel. Also how the manual shift gear works- do you have to change the gear often or rather like in passanger car.
I think I made my car castum I take the combi with 201hp tsi leather stirring w bulli dashboard leather seats 20" wheels the rest I made in my home.... 😀😀😀
to be honest I'm a little disappointed. I was expecting a new car design and in the end got just restyling optics and bumper. the salon is almost not changed at all.
если честно я немного разочарован. я ожидал нового дизайна автомобиля а в итоге получили просто ристайлинг оптики и бампера. салон практически не изменился вовсе.
here in Brasil we use a lot van like this... but this model do not has arrived here... and i think it´s ´ll never happen.... our Kombi is more usefull because internal dimensions is more squared than this ¨T6... eurovan and caravelle has arived but not sell too much... not because the price... because internal dimensions... not usefull as cargo van....
Not the best review in the world! at one point this guy made the T6 sound like a deathtrap that was not worth buying, so many negative points makes you want to buy anything else but a T6.
surf board in germany ahhhhh .....you have a long drive mate.....maybe potatoes for your cartofel salad ....high class interior then wrecked it painted with a cheap tin of post office red not even metalic......

As a touring musician, vehicles don't get much better that this! Room for he whole band and most of our gear! I love it.
I would totally get this van as a personal vehicle. Just because of its massive interior space, practicality, and the superb driving position.
Full HD available soon of course, still processing :)
+Autogefühl how much are these? can u get them in all-wheel drive?
Hearing Thomas say "Robo-Dad" and "Robo-Mom" made my entire week...
hehe =)
Quite amazing van, functionality of the interior is lightyears ahead of any mini-van available in North America!
This is amazing.. this automobile maker is giving unbelievable features.... wonderful cars
Wonderful film Thomas! I’m getting a T6.1 in 2020. Really looking forward to it.

I think I am most impressed with the engineering of that table!
+DriveEV =)
They have done quite a good job in this new version of transporter van
comarison with the V class : t6 design will never be old :)
Excellent review - very thorough and informative. Thank you.
jumpedupchimpanzee thx!
Quiller very German, lol.
Great review. I hope we get them in the United States. You have become my favorite auto reviewer!
Thank you! Keep supporting us :)

juefis =) such a great comment
Would love to see VW offer this vehicle in the U.S.

Dorian 'almost like going for a test drive myself' so great to hear that!
in in love with this t6

I really like your positivity :D

Love this guy.

+Richard Moulds :>
"The boss seat" YES!
Shaun Anderson :>
i really like the design of the new front and the dual color!
Excellent review
+Ayanda thank u!
I like the choosed in this color you show us red and white I think it's really elegant and special color 😉
yeah it's the special edition as said in the video :)
VW needs to bring this to the USA.
Thomas did you broke the rear black latch. (To move the rear seats back and fort) hahaha. Great review mate. Kudos to your team as well.
thanks! I think it survived =)
Thx for superb review! I love this retro style colour combination.
i did see one in dc with french diplomat plates really good looking .
great vid, i like the "Silence Now"
I've seen the dual-colour version of this, both at dealership and the street and it looks just awesome! It gets expensive tho. V. good choice still if you r after a vehicle of this size.
I need this van like badly
fantastico. es el mejor monovolumen que he visto. En 2016 tendré uno.
I cant believe Its that beautiful
I think that the smaller Diesel engines also have their market share, for example in the regions where you pay taxes according to the engine's power. And also if the Transporter is used to cary stuff around the city or a small town, for example as a plumber's or a wall painter's vehicle who just moves around the city to his customers., they would be ok with the 84 hp engine.
Dorian good point!
Nice video. Very well made, thorough and informative.
Loved the music also. Can you tell me the name of the soundtracks used, particularly in 8:16?
with the passenger model, can all of the rear seats be removed out, so there's just empty space????
Quick question on UK spec Gen 6 there is no Generation Six badge on the B pillar do you know why
can all the seats be removed? so there's just spare room alone in the back?
Thanks so much for a great in depth review. How an I can one in the US?
I really like the look of this new van and I bet it's nice to drive as well, espeically with the automatic gearbox. Thanks for the Review. Btw, how come you're driving in Schweden?
Vandioa Thanks! Well there are the cars that we test 'at home' and there are the driving events where we test the cars abroad - this was a latter one :)
Hey thomas Is youtube processing for 1080p ?
1cemoy yes of course
Anyone notice at 34:14, the colour of the van (silver top and blue lower) matched what the reviewer was wearing? And he also said that this would be the colour combination he would pick if he were to buy one :p
Maybe a new trend is emerging :p automakers take note!! :P

wie immer ein toller ausführlicher test! kleine zwischenfrage, weißt du ggf., ob der t6 auch mit dem parkassistenten zum vollautomatischen (naja fast :)) einparken in längs/querlücken zu haben ist?
LLawliet182 Vielen Dank! Dieser neuste Assistent fehlt meinen Informationen nach, den finden wir in der Regel nur in den neusten Modellen mit MQB wie dem Touran
Fantastic review. My fave colour combination is the white and grey👍
Because they do not sell it in america??
Great review. Great van.
Thomas, like a boss LOL
I prefer the to sit front facing. Otherwise i get carsick.
Indy Pindy :)
I would love to see the T6 in a version even more camping oriented, sort of like the Mercedes V Class Marco Polo...
***** Volkswagen California should be coming very soon. It's the Multivan with a pop-up roof and a kitchen and two beds.
I just checked, it's already out here in Europe.
I hope this VW comes to the U.S. VW had a rebadged Chrysler Town and Country, which I find odd. A. Very thorough review, btw
would love to see you guys bring the california out for a spin!
I find the transporter has a big cult following in uk and are of excellent build quality I am a plumber and opted for the Renault traffic as for practical reasons this t6 transporter only still 5 speed and every little creature comfort you pay for !!! The Renault and transit has the bulk head hatch for 3 meter length of pipe and timber the transporter does not vw are lagging behind on the cabin office toys to Renault and ford bench seat office clip board etc is very useful maybe I will look again in 4 years when vw look at the basics again
Could someone tell me how much a full tank can go?
No passenger airbags for the cheaper versions yet!
Endureromex Indeed what I criticized that not the most important safety equipment is included in the basic versions.
Good if your an Aberdeen supporter
Zajebisty jest ten biało-czarwony multivan. Ten T6 powinien paradować w Warszawie albo w Poznaniu przed czołgami Leopard 2.

Where is the California version??
Awesome ***** review . I would take the V-class over the T6 purely because of standard safety systems.
Mpho Thekisho thanks!
For what no sell in america?
Thank you for the excellent video! Professional and informative overview in details! It is just a pity there is no version I need: "CaravelleTrendline", - new car have better possibilities in sit transformation - completely foldable backrest.

Monkey D. Luffy unfortunately as I said in the conclusion, not officially :/ But I guess there will be some importers ...
VW T6 When in USA
when will they make a camper out of it?
You could roll a lot of joints, on that table !
And pass them along.............
this is what to buy if i had the money! not some stupid tiny sport car :)
Good review nice looking van but very expensive .
Thanks man
1Messii you re welcome, Lionel!

White and red, like a polish flag :)

adrianserbezov Colors are the same but in my case also the layout is right. Red on the lower part and white on the upper :)
omg, what a hooligan car!
The Dodge has stow&Go.
