Buying the 2020 Audi A4 Progressiv

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2020 Audi A4 Progressiv; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 2020 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

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

What the figures tell you

Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo; drive: front-wheel drive. 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.

At 7.9 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 24 litres of fuel. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $13.83. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What the A4 is like

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. It is 4.76 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot. In plain terms, its 368 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Best uses

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Try before you buy

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the A4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.83 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Which one to look for

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
