What to check on the A4

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 158 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, back over prevention and unknown or other. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.

Engine and fuel

Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. 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. That works out to 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.

Best uses

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.

What the A4 is like

Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. NHTSA lists it at 4.76 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Its 368 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Drive it on your own roads

A test week in the A4 tells you more than any review. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the A4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Picking a year and a trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.83 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
