Recalls and complaints

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

Specs, explained

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 7-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

It is rated at 7.9 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 24 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $138.30. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.

Good uses for the A4

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Inside and out

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With a length of 4.76 m, it counts as on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. EPA lists 368 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent the A4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the A4 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A test week in the A4 tells you more than any review.

Picking a year and a trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

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. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
