Audi sits alongside BMW and Mercedes in the premium bracket, and the used-buying logic is much the same: steep early depreciation puts genuinely good cars within reach, as long as you’ve budgeted for running them rather than just buying them.
The A3 is the entry point and the volume seller. The A4 is the saloon most people move up to. The Q3 and Q5 handle the SUV side, and the A6 is the comfortable long-distance choice. Quattro four-wheel drive appears across the range and is worth having if you drive in bad weather, though it adds a little to fuel consumption and to what things cost to fix.
Check the service history carefully and ask about timing belt intervals on the engines that use one — it’s a scheduled job, not an optional one, and skipping it is catastrophic rather than merely expensive. As with VW, DSG and S tronic gearboxes want their fluid changed on schedule.
