What to check on the A4

NHTSA has 6 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, tires and air bags. 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.

Specs, explained

It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

The combined figure, 8.0 L/100 km, means roughly 24 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.

Space and size

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA lists 340 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

A longer test drive

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A week with the A4 answers more than any brochure. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A4 answers the big questions.

The cost of driving it

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $124 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
