Car financing: the 2011 Audi A5
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 Audi A5 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page helps you judge the 2011 Audi A5 before you buy one anywhere.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 39 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the figures tell you
It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. 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.
Combined fuel use is 9.4 L/100 km: about 28 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $49.35 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. In plain terms, its 283 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Try before you buy
A week with the A5 answers more than any brochure. Drive the A5 on your commute before you commit to it. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $164.50 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
