Recalls and complaints

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 6 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, tires and air bags; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Engine and fuel

Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid with all-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Combined fuel use is 8.0 L/100 km: about 24 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $124. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

A good match for

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.

The A4 in everyday use

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. With 340 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Rent it for a week first

A test week in the A4 tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A4 answers the big questions. Drive the A4 on your commute before you commit to it.

Narrowing it down

Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel.
