The 2020 Audi A4 Technik: before you buy

No 2020 Audi A4 Technik is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car 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.

A buyer's checks

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

The figures, translated

It runs 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. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Expect about 24 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.9 L/100 km combined rating. Expect 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.

Who the A4 suits

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Inside and out

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Its length is 4.76 m, so it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Its 368 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

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. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Which one to look for

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Compare the Technik with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
