A buyer's checks

Engine and fuel
Power: the 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged; drive: all-wheel drive. 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.
By the EPA's combined rating of 11.1 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 33 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $58.29 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the S4
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Space and size
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is 368 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
A week with the S4 answers more than any brochure. Drive the S4 on your commute before you commit to it. If the S4 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.43 in fuel.
