The 2006 Audi A4: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2006 Audi A4; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2006 Audi A4, here are the facts that matter.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 298 complaints with NHTSA, most often about exterior lighting, air bags and electrical system; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Under the hood
It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. 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.
Combined fuel use is 9.8 L/100 km: about 29 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $17.15, and a 300 km weekend about $51.45. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Practical details
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Length: 4.59 m. It fits most condo and driveway spots. 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. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A4 answers the big questions.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Still deciding?
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
