A buyer's checks

Owners filed 158 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, back over prevention and unknown or other; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Under the hood

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo drives 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.

A combined rating of 7.9 L/100 km works out to about 24 litres per 300 km. 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.

When the A4 makes sense

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

What to expect from the A4

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. At 4.76 m from bumper to bumper, it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Luggage space is 368 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Drive it on your own roads

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the A4 for a week and see how it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Which one to look for

Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

Money matters

Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. 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.
