A buyer's checks

NHTSA has 158 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, back over prevention and unknown or other. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

The numbers in plain words

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 7-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Fuel use is rated 7.9 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 24 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $13.83, and a 300 km weekend about $41.49. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Space, size and seats

Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. At 4.76 m from bumper to bumper, it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. At 368 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

When the A4 makes sense

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Drive it on your own roads

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Drive the A4 on your commute before you commit to it. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Running costs

Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138.30 at our price setting.

Narrowing it down

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