Before you sign for the A4

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. Owners filed 13 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, forward collision avoidance and power train; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

What the figures tell you

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid does the work, through a 7-speed automatic. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

A combined rating of 8.3 L/100 km works out to about 25 litres per 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $128.70 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,950 a year for 15,000 miles.

Who it is for

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work.

Room inside

Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA measures its luggage space at 340 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Rent it for a week first

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the A4 tells you more than any review. Try the A4 on your commute, then decide.

Choosing the right one

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$2,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
