Buying 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 is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Buying the 2011 Audi A5 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 39 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, engine and unknown or other. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Specs, explained
The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). 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.
Its combined rating is 9.4 L/100 km, which means roughly 28 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $49.35 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Inside and out
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The EPA lists 283 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Good uses for the A5
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
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Try the A5 on your commute, then decide. A week with the A5 answers more than any brochure.
Money matters
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. 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.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Questions first?
