Thinking of buying the 2019 Audi RS?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2019 Audi RS; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. This page sets out the 2019 Audi RS for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the RS
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 7 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. Owners filed 8 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and air bags; have those parts checked.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain here is the 2.5L 5-cylinder turbo with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
The combined figure, 10.5 L/100 km, means roughly 32 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $18.38 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the RS
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Room inside
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. It measures 4.75 m long by 1.84 m wide. Check the size of a tight parking spot. The EPA measures its luggage space at 283 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Try the RS on your commute, then decide. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Which one to look for
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2019 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. 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. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
