Recalls and complaints

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 158 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, back over prevention and unknown or other; have those parts checked.

What the figures tell you

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 7-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 24 litres, from its 7.9 L/100 km rating. Expect about $13.83 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

When the A4 makes sense

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Size and space

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. With a length of 4.76 m, it counts as on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. For luggage, 368 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A longer test drive

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the A4 answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Narrowing it down

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.83 in fuel.
