What to check on the A5
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 7 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, power train and electrical system; have those parts checked.
Engine and fuel
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo does the work, through a 6-speed manual. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
A combined rating of 9.1 L/100 km works out to about 27 litres per 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $47.79 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
What the A5 is like
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. With 340 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A5 answers the big questions.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
