I've had a California for 18 months, and I didn't know you could do that in one... (Hide the seat belt catches away under the seat )... Very good review :-)

@ApologiaTV Excited? With the seats I think it's the same as on the conversion I have now - a lever between your legs at the front to release the rotating mechanism. The driver's seat is tricky to spin as you need to adjust the steering column and the front-back position and angle of the seat to get it in a position where it has room to spin. For the record I now have a 2007 T5 Transporter panel van conversion. Couldn't afford the California - the next best thing for less than half the cash.

I had a fixed high roof which was good as I could always stand up in it! The raising roof does of course mean that you can get into garages without too much trouble and should improve your fuel economy!

The California is not just that, it's got a twin turbo engine with 4MOTION (that's advance 4wd in VW speak) and a 7 Speed DSG gear box. To top it all off. Very nice.

I had this van on loan from VW to test, so I didn't pay anything, but the price of that van new would be around £40,000 in the UK. It's the top-spec model with 4WD and almost all the options.

Strange why we can get these here in California Settlement, New Brunswick, we have the Rialto by Winnebago, its larger and costs around $35,000 to purchase. Oh Well Maybe someday they'll ship these to North America, or Build them in Mexico, Maine.

A great review, well done. It's a fabulous vehicle, great specification, but what a huge price for a vehicle without a shower or fitted toilet. £30k would be a lot of money, but a lot more acceptable than £40k !!!

Yes, my old '68 Bay Window had stacks of character and charm but broke down all the time - no fun during the middle of a long trip! I'd take the California and its reliability any day, but I'd give my old van 5 stars just for the memories :-)

No toilet and no washing facilities other than the cold water tap. It is still a van that fits into a standard parking space, down small streets and lanes, and is less than 2m high. I don't think I'd want a toilet sloshing around in the back of a van that size.

Hi, your review is simply awesome! But please can you modify tags? When i find your video, i try to find it as "Volkswagen California". After some time i need show your review to my granddad, but i try to find it as "Volkswagen multivan or transporter" without success. Can you add to tags these words? Thanks for fantastic review. Greetings from Czech republic. Please be patient for my bad english.
