We don't mind that you blew the entire budget on this review, it was well feckin worth it !. A pure beast of machinery,cost massive, but as you say Bob, "would I buy one bloody sure I would"...Nice job as ever.
@lex33122 Thanks very much, we do our best. Unfortunately I don't know what that music is, I was a random piece of music that we had on a cd. I'll check around and come back to you
@altern8ive I'm glad you're finding some of the earlier videos worth watching. Seems like years ago that we made this one! I've just invested a lot of money in new cameras and stuff so there might be some more improvements in the videos. By the way, there is no budget; it's just done out of love!
@malonefan I don't have one...yet! I actually own a few cars but the main day to day car is a 06 Seat Leon petrol. It just works and it's never given a days trouble even when it's been sitting there for a month.
@randombloke10 Thanks for watching the video, you are right about the Audi's there's a family look to them but they are all different to drive and look at. I asked Audi Ireland if there's an A8 that I could test, they are having a check and will come back to me. I will do my best to fulfill your request as I'm a fan of the A8 since the movie Ronan!
Mr.Smokerspack, I am planning to buy a 2012 BMW 640d Gran Coupe, I've seen your review on it and you seem to loveit, you also love this A7, I am stuck between which one although im leaning towards the 640d. Which one would you pick sir?
Nice vids brother, this is just the second vid of yours I've watched, the first being the one of the A6 TDi Quattro, which I watched just a few minutes ago. Cool. These two Audis are really two of the greatest cars in the world. I have a hard time deciding which of these two I'll get, the A7's sexy but the A6, being a diesel, is economical (the A6 is only a diesel here in Manila) while still a performance car. But I think in the end I can't resist the sleekness of the A7.
We thought the same too. The a7 came out on top since its more practical. Also as we live in Finland theres a use for 4wd, and the 4wd in the A7 and A6 is different. The one in the a7 is the newer generation 4wd with torque vectoring. i tried it out and there is a difference, esp in ice, snowy winter conditions. Also looking from the side the A7 is simply more stunning than the A6...in every way.
Thanks very much for your suggestion, I'll certainly consider it. It's interesting how opinions differ, I also did think that the A6 was nicer looking, especially in the past. I thought when I first saw it that the A7's looks weren't beautiful but a bit oddball, while I liked the A6 right off. But some others including the guy who works with Emme Hall, I forget his name now, think that the A7's the most beautiful Audi.
lots of people say that all the new audi's all look the same and as much as i can see their point of view, their idiots look at this and the new A6 and the new A4 and the new A5 and even the A1 they all look great and as for the A7 well that is surely on the short list for the best looking of all the german automotives. very good review i loved the music to the opening, and please please please review the audi A8 it looks like such a good car that needs an equally good reviewer
A nicely specified A6 is a nicer looking car than the A7, I still think the A7 is beautiful but the A6 is more in every way and if you can get it in diesel you'll be well sorted.
No way I am getting the 6 series ....looks is not as good imo..and the interior...Audi still the best ....overall Audi has the better package ... its not all about drive all the time
it was just meant as a joke bob because you went too much on how its sooo good :D , i really like your review im from dublin , and on behalf of your ADVISE i bought VW CC 177 BHP :d if you see one in blue driving like mad thats me :D
i drove an a7 and I can tell you, the guy isn't talking shit, the car's damn perfect, it does get 6l/100km, it can go even lower, and that's insane, the acceleration is INSANE, and that's on the 3.0tdi 245hp one, the bitdi 313hp is mental, it's really comfortable, it's got everything you would need in a big car, but it looks mean as hell i'd recommend it to anyone, and it beats it's bmw and mercedes rivals from a large distance :)
It’s 2024 and I drive this car every day! A 2014 Black TDI just like this video. Still drives and looks great 10 years later.

The way you can lock onto the car ahead of you like that is amazing. Audi is such an innovative company. Always producing new technology. I love it!
@lex33122 Thanks very much, we do our best. Unfortunately I don't know what that music is, I was a random piece of music that we had on a cd.
I'll check around and come back to you

@Smokerspack Sensational work!! Do you have one yourself Bob?
What do you drive?! This seems just an awesome car!!
Thanks very much, I'm glad you like it!

Three words. Two statements
EPIC CAMERA SHOTS!!
FECKING GREAT REVIEW!
Individual means that you can set the suspension, steering and power yourself.

Bob, you and Shane knocked another one out of the park. Great video, great review!

Yeah, it is a good video; Is that an Audio Technica lavalier mic?
We thought the same too. The a7 came out on top since its more practical. Also as we live in Finland theres a use for 4wd, and the 4wd in the A7 and A6 is different.

Cheers dude, over a year ago and still getting views. Shane has gone on to other things so I do the videos on my own now!
Man, your video is brilliant! Smart-funny, good background music choice, love your comments.
We should get a beer! :)
Thanks very much for your suggestion, I'll certainly consider it. It's interesting how opinions differ, I also did think that the A6 was nicer looking, especially in the past.

Great car and great vid. What's the music? All the songs?
Thanks very much, make sure you show us your new car when you get it!
I Love this Car One outside my house now Love it Great Car
Easy, 640d Gran Coupe it's the best car I've ever driven. Don't forget this video was made long before the GC came out.
awesome review Bob and Next Gear crew, if you've blown the rest of the 2012 budget on cameras and post processing with this it was worth it :)
@malonefan haha, we did excel ourselves on this one. Lot's of crew and cameras
lots of people say that all the new audi's all look the same and as much as i can see their point of view, their idiots look at this and the new A6 and the new A4 and the new A5 and even the A1 they all look great and as for the A7 well that is surely on the short list for the best looking of all the german automotives. very good review i loved the music to the opening, and please please please review the audi A8 it looks like such a good car that needs an equally good reviewer
This is the Lagonda we didn't have and an alternative to Bentley cheap Charlie ? No A7 is PURE CLASS
great video....hopefully my next car...
A nicely specified A6 is a nicer looking car than the A7, I still think the A7 is beautiful but the A6 is more in every way and if you can get it in diesel you'll be well sorted.
wow, thats confident inspiring, 6 GC is it then. thanks for your reply. Great channel sir
Hold on 'till you see my next video then make up your mind...the 640d Grand Coupe might tempt you away :D
I don't remember what mic it is, it's a cheap one though :)
Thanks for the answer
WTF my answer was A7 and he said "You're wrong it's the A7 ! " and I was like " da hell was wrong on my answer ?!" 😅
what the mode individual
But I did get used to the A7's looks after a while. :)
What a motor
much more expensive!! big difference, differente league. However much more nice!!
3.0 TFSI does in 5.6 0-100.
and no 4wd. All the power is lost. the 230kw biturbo diesel is more logical than the 640d in my point of view :)
... oops, sorry, just saw the upload date :S but it was still worth it!
@lex33122 the closest match i get is Astor Piazzolla - Primavera Portena (Spring) (Polar Remix) : watch?v=vonjMoRMl8s
No way I am getting the 6 series ....looks is not as good imo..and the interior...Audi still the best ....overall Audi has the better package ... its not all about drive all the time
At the end of the day, it still has a tractor engine inside it. Nothing gives the excitement of a petrol when its hitting 6k rpm
No
i wounder how much Audi paid him to talk this much how good it is ...
I didn't get paid by anyone for anything. This is a totally independent channel and this video is years old 👍
it was just meant as a joke bob because you went too much on how its sooo good :D , i really like your review im from dublin , and on behalf of your ADVISE i bought VW CC 177 BHP :d if you see one in blue driving like mad thats me :D
Rytis Kurcinskas it's every hard to tell of if that comment was a joke. It's just a line of text Next time throw in a smile face or wink etc
i drove an a7 and I can tell you, the guy isn't talking shit, the car's damn perfect, it does get 6l/100km, it can go even lower, and that's insane, the acceleration is INSANE, and that's on the 3.0tdi 245hp one, the bitdi 313hp is mental, it's really comfortable, it's got everything you would need in a big car, but it looks mean as hell
i'd recommend it to anyone, and it beats it's bmw and mercedes rivals from a large distance :)
He Didnt and EVERYTHING HE SAID IS TRUE AND MORE A7 BRILLIANT CAR EPIC
