What to check on the A4

There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. NHTSA has 158 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, back over prevention and unknown or other. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Engine and fuel

It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Combined fuel use is 7.9 L/100 km: about 24 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $138.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Space, size and seats

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Measured bumper to bumper, it is 4.76 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. EPA lists 368 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.83 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Year and trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
