- I went to Canada to live with the VW California Ocean 6.1 - see what sets it apart from the California 6, and why it's the perfect vehicle for making memories. And avoiding bears. See more words on it over on DriveTribe: drivetribe.com/p/is-the-vw-ca...

If you want to see me make a hash of more car reviews then subscribe to my new car review channel. Guess which one that is.
Nice review with a sense of humour. Thanks 🍺🍷👍
2:20 factory fitted pervert shields 🤣 I'm dead
The legs for the awning are incorporated within the awning itself. Wind it out about 18 inches and unfold them.
Great Video Review
Great video.
Never seen a bear as I live in Australia, & we have bloody kangaroos over here.
Really funny and informative, thank you
Thanks for the humorous review! Really liked it.
But you seriously need a proper mike.
Drivetribe should use this guy more - enjoyed his light hearted review 👍
Haha thanks. Sadly I got made redundant from there in Dec 2021 along with 95% of the team! I do car reviews every week on Tim Rodie Drives Stuff though.
Nice review. We were seriously considering buying one of these instead of the Stelvio Q we ended up with, but our garage door was too low.
What a totally different pair of cars (price aside!) both would be a great garage... also, campervan prices are ridiculously strong second hand at the mo. I love me a Stelvio Q though!
Yea, very different. We rented a California Beach on Iceland a few years back, and were rather impressed. However, the Ocean as in your review would have been a better choice. The Stelvio is a great car. We'll just bring a tent instead :-) Watch the Stelvio videos on my channel if you like the car. We plan to keep it forever.
Very ironic that the Volkswagen California can’t be purchased in California, or anywhere else in America, for that matter. So, I have only seen one in CZcams videos, such as this. I must say that the internal components of the van appear to be made of very cheap, flimsy materials. And, I’m sure it sells for a pretty penny.
We have the 6.0 version, it’s nice
Emiel Kramer lucky you - it’s been a year since I filmed this and I still think about it!
Just ordered one based on the fart flap, cheers!
Tracy Darlington I’m glad my consumer advice was helpful 🤣
Amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+
Great video Tim. We just hired a 2 year old Ocean and found that the quality just wasn't there. The pop up roof etc is nice but the quality, fit and finish of the interior trim doesn't justify the price of buying one. It's no wonder that people choose to convert a panel van. Doesnt stop me from wanting one though.....
Same here, they are nice but room is tight in there and the fixtures are really poor, we had a broken flimsy blind, the roller cupboard was broken which is apprently common too...pretty poor for VW
James Brian Interesting. Thanks for telling us. I must admit, I’ve seen T6 conversions which I think are better, and there are many other converted vans (not VWs) with great features.
yep
Lee Syatt is looking well these days
Skoda: Umbrella in door is ingenious.
VW: huh
Its yes for me.
Wait, a Canadian license plate on the back of the car and a German one in the front? 😳
Haha yup. The German plate on the front was just for show, I think... they were imported and put on Canadian manufacturer test plates
@@timrodierides ah, that explains it then. Glad you escaped all those bears! Loved that part.
Is this available in USA?
Ironically for something called the California, no.
You follow Jawtooth?
I always knew these were overpriced but when you drew those pathetic excuse for blinds I was done lol
Toilets?
Drivetribe is dead now right?
But ...where do you poo?
In the ocean 😜
Please sell in America.
WHAT? No no I CANT HEAR U over this wiiiind.
It’s taken 4 months but here’s your first thumbs up. I too struggled to hear him at times.
....chairs
The Volkswagen a good engine is a van the materials are quality but is small and is very expensive is not affordable you pay a lot the Volkswagen brand hurts that is so expensive
James May wannabe
I’ll take that as a compliment... I think it’s osmosis (check out the channel I’m commenting from)
Tim Rodie Drives Stuff FWIW, I actually thought you were better than James May.
@@misterg1157 Thanks!
