The 2020 Audi A4 Technik: before you buy

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2020 Audi A4 Technik; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2020 Audi A4 Technik for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Before you sign for the A4

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

Reading the spec sheet

The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

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. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.

Who it is for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Size and space

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The body is 4.76 m long and 1.85 m wide. Check the size of a tight parking spot. In plain terms, its 368 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Drive it on your own roads

A week with the A4 answers more than any brochure. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Choosing the right one

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. 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

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
