The 2016 Audi A5: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2016 Audi A5; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Thinking about the 2016 Audi A5? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. 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. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
The numbers in plain words
Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 6-speed manual. 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.
Combined fuel use is 9.1 L/100 km: about 27 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $47.79 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the A5
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Space and size
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. For luggage, 340 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
If the A5 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the A5 on your commute, then decide. A week with the A5 answers more than any brochure.
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. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Running costs
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.
Still deciding?
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2016 Audi A5 from us first.
