A buyer's checks

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. 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. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

What the figures tell you

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, 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.

Combined fuel use is 7.9 L/100 km: about 24 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $41.49 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Inside and out

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Length: 4.76 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. The EPA lists 368 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who it is for

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Try before you buy

Rent first, buy later: a week with the A4 answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If the A4 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Money matters

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.

Year and trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
