When buying a used vehicle there is always the fear that the vehicle will break down the moment you drive away from the dealership - or leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere.

A good formula to avoid this scenario is to buy a used car from a reputable dealer.

Our used car for this week comes from Audi Centre Boksburg, where all pre-owned cars undergo vigorous tests and checks.

This means that you have a second-hand car that feels and drives like a new one, providing you with the peace of mind a car owner needs.

Our test A4 was an example of the perfect used car. The black leather interior looked great, with no cuts or marks on the seats.

The overall condition of the interior is good.

Mileage is also low at 13000km.

The outside of the car is in equally good condition, and the tyres good for another 20000km.

What makes the Audi A4 really stand out in its segment is that apart from being a good all-round vehicle, it boasts almost the best build quality in its class.

Everything feels solid and the materials are of good quality.

The A4 is very popular among most drivers - whether you are a mother or young up-and-coming businessman, you will find the A4 suits your requirements perfectly.

There is enough room for all the kids and boot space for lots of groceries, yet it is compact and has a contemporary design for the younger market out there.

And of course, this A4 has lots of luxuries that will satisfy the most demanding owner.

Driving in the city we found the combination of the easy gear changes and light clutch action very pleasant.

The four-cylinder 2,0 turbo diesel engine has loads of torque and it will gallop easily along the freeway even when fully loaded.

Power delivery stands at 104kW and a huge 320Nm of torque. All this power gets delivered to the front wheels via a smooth six-speed manual gearbox.

Standard equipment includes dual front air bags, side air bags, ABS brakes with EBD, aircon, electric windows, power steering and a front-loading CD-MP3-player.
