    one thing I like about jags, and british luxury cars in general is that there are so fewer of them on the road in comparison to german luxury cars. and it's always nice to have something that isn't already had by everyone else

    Jaguar all day. I do like some of the other Audi's, but since I have a Jag...I'm in it all the way!

  • @Atrollin2
    @Atrollin2 11 років тому +6

    Jaguar are more robust build though. Look up engine failure statistics.
    Audi failure rate - 3.71%
    Jaguar failure rate - 0.98%
    The other Germans, BMW and VW, finished in the bottom 10 as well.

    I have around 15k on it now. It is my daily driver and I have had no issues. Another great feature is the new Warranty which covers everything including wear and tear, maint, and oil changes for up to 50k miles. When Tata Motors took over, they did a complete overhaul and all seems well. Ford really jacked up Jag when it came to looks and reliability. When it comes to price point, features, luxury, and power, there is nothing out there that can touch it.

    I would have to agree with Roman. The A7 is perhaps the best looking of the year. Ive seen it on the freeway in SoCal and the thing is gorgeous. The in-dash monitor is just brilliant.

    Personally, I dislike the looks of the A7 and love the looks of the A6. The new BMW 6 Gran Coupe is the most beautiful four door couple out of the bunch. Between these two I would take the Jag over the A7. My best sedan pick would have to be the CTS-V. Oh, how I love that car and you guys did a great job with this video.

    The A7 has been getting a lot of praise. Not a bad thing, I guess I thought there wasn't a space for such a car in the line up. Good for Audi. They're hot right now. Although I do have a soft spot for Jaguar. I like their designs and performance. And that they aren't as "common." Both are great cars.

    @TheAustinFleming Please don’t misunderstand me; the CTS-V is an excellent car. The Jaguar is more comfortable, refined and has a different presence. It should be noted that the CTS-V does have a manual transmission option - which I will choose every time. The Jaguar XFR does not. In the end, the Jaguar simply feels more sophisticated. Best of luck!

  • @THX2172
    @THX2172 12 років тому

    I personally own a 2011 XFR and I can attest that it is not only more luxuries, it is badder and meaner. These are the cars that I test drove: 2011 A7, CTSv, and BMW M5. I chose the Jag due to its all leather interior, the suede like headliner, the awesome supercharged motor, and the prowess that it presents. After driving the Jag and see the real wood, awesome Jag smell, wrapped leather everything, getting in an Audi felt like a cheap Japanese Acura TL.

  • @toh3211
    @toh3211 12 років тому

    Roman - I couldn't agree with you any more. The A7 is a wonderful machine - it soaks up highway miles with ease and drives in the street with a mean attitude. I remember sitting in this car and like you said it just makes you feel special and that at the end of the day is all that matters

    hi, just some friendly criticism here..i visited your website and thought it was very professional, user friendly, and nice looking in terms of design(i know a lot about these things because my father owns an advertising agency). How ever i do think when it comes to your youtube videos, they could use some more work when it comes to editing and camera work. I think with those tweaks it will up the quality of your channel greatly. this is just my opinion.

  • @toh3211
    @toh3211 12 років тому

    It took a long time for me to figure out which car to get but at the end of a very exhaustive search i went ahead and ordered the a7 over the a6/bmw's/lexus/jags. You just can't beat this car in terms of styling and looks and "value" over the other luxury sport brands - I guess it's a personal and emotional decision but for me the A7 is one of the best cars out there period.

    Now that you both made me sick you get to drive any car you want and play like that I must say the A-7 as well. I live in the North East and I need a little more traction. But I am sure that 550 HP would make anyone feel special. Only if you could be Ticket Exempt! I was not an AUDI fan boy until the last 4 years and they just keep getting nicer and nicer. This is one of the toughest times to choose a car. Gas prices aside there R many EXCELLENT choices for a change. Thank you Roman & Nathan.

    @sw1000xg Yeah the Ford GT that i own and have never had a problem. It's funny how he's the only person that has had a serious problem on the GT. Also how many 40+year old European cars do you see still running? There are plenty of American built cars still on the road today that were built in 1920's - 1970's through today. Using the original power trains. Many of them can be found right here on UA-cam.

  • @CrazyAboutVinylRecords
    @CrazyAboutVinylRecords 2 роки тому

    I get your obsession with the Audi A6 and A7. You've made plenty enough videos about them. The reason no one races Audi sedans is because no one but you cares. Compared to Mustangs and Camaros, the Audi A6 and A7 are relatively unexciting cars. That is not to say they aren't nice. But if I really want a car to race in I will take a Camaro ZL1 1LE or Shelby GT350R any day. If you want an Audi to race in then the R8 GT is your ride, but you better have deep, deep pockets.

    The S7 is 2013 model, the XFR is 2011. Back when they did this "test", the S7 wasn't available. I don't know what the "competition" is up to now, but if they did this video now (or just a tad later), there's the new RS7 coming... :)

Because they are very reliable and capable of making a big power.

    @sw1000xg But the motors are based on Ford engines that were designed by FORD. Note that reliability for the Jaguar brand was horrible until Ford took over.

Koenigsegg will tell you Ford engines are excellent for building power and they are reliable. I guess you've never heard of a car called the Ford GT. Which can make up 1000hp on a stock block. Rubbish? I don't think so. MPG? Check out the 5.0 L by Ford it gets better mileage than most European V8's while making more HP. This ain't the 80's anymore.

    Hmm, must admit I do not like the current styling of Audi's in general. They all kinda reminds me of my 83 year dad when he decided to wear a baseball cap backwards. Additionally, and this is important when I buy a car. Who I see driving it, and truthfully, I have never seen anyone driving an A7 who looks like they still have a pulse! The Jag on the other hand, styling, well its grown on me over the years and I do think its the best looking in class but they are just incredible to drive.

    I've seen about 6 of these cars within 7 months. Whenever you see them it's such a nice sight. Didn't like it at first, but it really grew on me. It's lines are so appealing, the interior is awesome. I personally love it in darker colors with a tanned interior.
    Another thing that makes this car awesome is the exclusivity, it's so rare.
    @SeregaCh, the Jaguar is nice too but who gives a damn if it gives you good looks. The A7 is a better choice imo. Sexiest 4 doors on the market.
