Lease a car: blue 2017 Audi A4 Technik in Patsy

The 2017 Audi A4 Technik for buyers

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2017 Audi A4 Technik for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Here is the 2017 Audi A4 Technik for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

A buyer's checks

Owners filed 87 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

What the specs mean

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo does the work, through a 7-speed automatic. 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.

At 8.4 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 25 litres of fuel. Expect about $14.70 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,950 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Size and space

As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. It is 4.75 m from end to end. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Luggage space is 368 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who rents the A4

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

Rent the A4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the A4 answers more than any brochure. A test week in the A4 tells you more than any review.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$2,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.70 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Narrowing it down

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
