Lease takeover: silver 2019 Audi A4 Technik in Java

The 2019 Audi A4 Technik: before you buy

No 2019 Audi A4 Technik is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car 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. Here is the 2019 Audi A4 Technik for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Recalls and complaints

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 13 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

Reading the spec sheet

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Fuel use is rated 7.8 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 23 litres. Every 100 km costs about $13.65 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Living with the A4

Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. With 368 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

When the A4 makes sense

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Drive it on your own roads

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Try the A4 on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Which one to look for

Compare the Technik with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
