Buying the 2020 Audi A4 Komfort

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2020 Audi A4 Komfort; 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. Here is the 2020 Audi A4 Komfort for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Before you sign for the A4

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 158 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, back over prevention and unknown or other. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Under the hood

It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Expect about 24 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.9 L/100 km combined rating. Every 100 km costs about $13.83 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.

What to expect from the A4

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. NHTSA's Canadian figures put it at 4.76 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A longer test drive

A test week in the A4 tells you more than any review. Drive the A4 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the A4 first, and buy only if it fits your life.

Choosing the right one

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Compare the Komfort with the other trims of the same year before you decide. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

Running costs

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. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138.30 at our price setting.
