Recalls and complaints

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Owners filed 6 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, tires and air bags; have those parts checked.

Specs, explained

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, driving through a 7-speed automatic. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

The EPA rates it at 8.0 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 24 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $12.40, and a 300 km weekend about $37.20. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Who it is for

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.

Size and space

As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 340 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A longer test drive

Rent the A4 for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the A4 tells you more than any review. Try the A4 on your commute, then decide.

Year and trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

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. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
