Thinking of buying the 2012 Audi A4?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Audi A4 for sale by us right now. Buying the 2012 Audi A4 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA has 45 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, electrical system and fuel/propulsion system. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. 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.
The EPA rates it at 9.4 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 28 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $164.50. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Inside and out
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 340 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the A4 answers more than any brochure. Rent the A4 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
