Auto loans: the 2019 Audi A4 Progressiv

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2019 Audi A4 Progressiv for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 2019 Audi A4 Progressiv for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

A buyer's checks

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 13 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, engine and unknown or other.

What the specs mean

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 7-speed automatic. 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.

By the EPA's combined rating of 7.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 23 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $13.65 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Good uses for the A4

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Space and size

As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. At 368 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A longer test drive

Rent the A4 for a week and see how it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Narrowing it down

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

What it costs to run

A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.65 in fuel.
