Recalls and complaints
NHTSA has 26 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, electrical system and unknown or other. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The figures, translated
Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo drives through an automatic (CVT). The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated 8.9 L/100 km combined: about 27 litres every 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $15.58. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The A4 in everyday use
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. With a length of 4.73 m, it counts as mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots. Its 340 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
A longer test drive
Try the A4 on your commute, then decide. 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.
Money matters
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. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. 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.
Still deciding?
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
