Gold 2017 Audi A4 Progressiv for sale in Temascalcingo

Thinking of buying the 2017 Audi A4 Progressiv?

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2017 Audi A4 Progressiv for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 2017 Audi A4 Progressiv, here are the facts that matter.

Recalls and complaints

There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 87 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Engine and fuel

It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. 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.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 25 litres, from its 8.4 L/100 km rating. Expect about $14.70 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,950 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Living with the A4

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. It measures 4.75 m long by 1.84 m wide. Check the size of a tight parking spot. The EPA lists 368 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who rents the A4

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

A longer test drive

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the A4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A test week in the A4 tells you more than any review.

Money matters

The EPA estimates US$2,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.70 in fuel.

Picking a year and a trim

Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
