Thinking of buying the 2018 Audi A4?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2018 Audi A4; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 2018 Audi A4 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the A4
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
The numbers in plain words
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 7.6 L/100 km: about 23 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $39.90 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,650 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the A4
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Space and size
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The trunk holds 368 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A4 answers the big questions. Rent the A4 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,650 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.30 in fuel.
