We love our California, it's so comfortable to drive and travel in. It's great for a day away or 2/3 day trip away. I wouldn’t recommend it for tall or portly people, as the bed is not wide. The beauty of the VW California is it can be used as an everyday vehicle.

Would you recommend the car to a friend?

Yes Green thumbs up
