    Buying the 2018 Audi A4 Technik

    CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2018 Audi A4 Technik for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. The 2018 Audi A4 Technik for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

    What to check on the A4

    NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

    Specs, explained

    The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive. 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, 8.6 L/100 km, means roughly 26 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $45.15 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

    How big it is

    A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. At 368 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

    Who it is for

    It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

    Try before you buy

    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. If the A4 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

    The cost of driving it

    The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.05 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $150.50 at our price setting.

    Picking a year and a trim

    Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
