Thinking of buying the 2003 Audi A4?
No 2003 Audi A4 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Thinking about the 2003 Audi A4? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
What to check on the A4
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
The numbers in plain words
Its powertrain is the 1.8L 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.
Plan on about 31 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 10.2 L/100 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $17.85. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Length: 4.58 m. It fits most condo and driveway spots. In plain terms, its 368 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Drive it on your own roads
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the A4 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Money matters
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. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $178.50 at our price setting.
Year and trim
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. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
