Thinking of buying the 2006 Audi A4?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2006 Audi A4 for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2006 Audi A4, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the A4
There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
What the specs mean
Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 6-speed manual. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 9.8 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 29 litres of fuel. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $17.15. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the A4
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Practical details
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. It measures 4.59 m long by 1.77 m wide. It fits most condo and driveway spots. The trunk holds 368 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the A4 first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week with the A4 answers more than any brochure.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
When you know your dates
Questions about trying a car first? Ask in your request.
Rent it for a week before you buy
