Before you sign for the A4

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Owners filed 6 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, tires and air bags; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

What the specs mean

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

By the EPA's combined rating of 8.0 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 24 litres. Every 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Living with the A4

Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 340 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Try before you buy

Rent first, buy later: a week with the A4 answers the big questions. 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.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

Narrowing it down

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. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
