What to check on the A4

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

Under the hood

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid does the work, through a 7-speed automatic. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Plan on about 24 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.0 L/100 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $12.40. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the A4

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA measures its luggage space at 340 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Good uses for the A4

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

A longer test drive

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the A4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

What it costs to run

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Narrowing it down

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
