Before you sign for the A4

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. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

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.

A combined rating of 7.9 L/100 km works out to about 24 litres per 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $41.49 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

What to expect from the A4

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. It is 4.76 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot. The EPA measures its luggage space at 368 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who it is for

It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Drive it on your own roads

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the A4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A test week in the A4 tells you more than any review.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138.30 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Year and trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
