Car financing: the 2016 Audi A5
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2016 Audi A5 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page puts the 2016 Audi A5 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the A5
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Under the hood
It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
At 9.1 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 27 litres of fuel. Every 100 km costs about $15.93 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. EPA lists 340 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
When the A5 makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Drive it on your own roads
A test week in the A5 tells you more than any review. A week with the A5 answers more than any brochure. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.93 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Ready to ask?
