Car leasing: the 2001 Audi A4
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2001 Audi A4; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Here is what to know about the 2001 Audi A4 before buying one.
What to check on the A4
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA has 131 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, electrical system and engine and engine cooling. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
Its 1.8L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 5-speed manual. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Plan on about 31 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 10.2 L/100 km. Expect about $17.85 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. For luggage, 396 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A good match for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Try before you buy
Drive the A4 on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A4 answers the big questions.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
