We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2020 Audi A4 Technik for sale by us right now. Here is what to know about the 2020 Audi A4 Technik before buying one.

A buyer's checks

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the specs mean

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.

The combined figure, 7.9 L/100 km, means roughly 24 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $41.49 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who it is for

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

What the A4 is like

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. At 4.76 m long, it is 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.

A longer test drive

Rent the A4 first, and buy only if it fits your life. If the A4 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the A4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Narrowing it down

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the Technik with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

Money matters

Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138.30 at our price setting.
