Buying the 2020 Audi A4 Technik

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2020 Audi A4 Technik; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2020 Audi A4 Technik, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

A buyer's checks

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 158 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, back over prevention and unknown or other; have those parts checked.

The figures, translated

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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.

Rated at 7.9 L/100 km combined, it needs around 24 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $13.83, and a 300 km weekend about $41.49. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

What to expect from the A4

As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. With a length of 4.76 m, it counts as on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. With 368 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

When the A4 makes sense

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

A longer test drive

Drive the A4 on your commute before you commit to it. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A test week in the A4 tells you more than any review.

What it costs to run

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. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Year and trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
