Before you sign for the A4

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 6 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, tires and air bags; have those parts checked. 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.

Under the hood

Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid and all-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 24 litres, from its 8.0 L/100 km rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $124 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.

When the A4 makes sense

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

What the A4 is like

Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA lists 340 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Try before you buy

A week with the A4 answers more than any brochure. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the A4 for a week and see how it fits your life.

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. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel.
