Recalls and complaints

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. NHTSA has 6 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, tires and air bags.

What the figures tell you

The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. 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. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.

Good uses for the A4

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Room inside

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 340 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent the A4 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Try the A4 on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A4 answers the big questions.

Picking a year and a trim

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $124 at our price setting.
