What to check on the A4

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Engine and fuel

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 24 litres, from its 7.9 L/100 km rating. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.83 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Room inside

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Length: 4.76 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. The trunk holds 368 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.

Try before you buy

Rent the A4 first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A4 answers the big questions.

The cost of driving it

Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138.30 at our price setting.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
