Auto loans: the 2018 Audi A4 Progressiv

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2018 Audi A4 Progressiv for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page puts the 2018 Audi A4 Progressiv in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

Before you sign for the A4

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 54 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, unknown or other and air bags; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

The figures, translated

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

The EPA rates it at 8.6 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 26 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $15.05 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Best uses

It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Space, size and seats

Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. EPA lists 368 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A longer test drive

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the A4 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Which one to look for

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

Running costs

Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
