If you're on the hunt for a sedan that ticks all the boxes—speed, comfort, practicality, agility, and unbeatable value for its features—then the B8.5 Audi S4 is the perfect pick for you. Produced from 2013 to 2016, Audi addressed and corrected the issues found in the earlier B8 S4 model, in addition to updating the front end with a fresh facelift.
Powered by a 3.0T Supercharged engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission that drives all four wheels, the B8.5 S4 promises performance that won't leave you wanting. It's not just about the power; the exterior design is modern, and the interior matches this with its own contemporary features. With prices ranging from $12,000 to $18,000, depending on how many miles it's run and its overall condition, this model stands out as one of Audi's finest creations.
At Canadian Auto Performance, we have a special affection for the B8.5 S4. We see it as an incredible bargain for anyone, which is why we offer a wide range of performance parts and upgrades specifically for the B8.5. This includes cosmetic enhancements like front lips, honeycomb grilles, and carbon fiber mirrors, allowing you to truly personalize your ride and make it uniquely yours.
Here at Canadian Auto Performance, we don't just see the C7 A7 as a coupe, a high-executive sedan, or a hatchback—the terms others might use. To us, it's simply a masterpiece. Since its debut, the 2012-2017 Audi A7 has been an eye-catcher with its bold front look, luxurious inside, and roomy trunk. It quickly became a hit for Audi, both in Europe and North America.
This model started as the C7 A7 from 2012 to 2014 and then got an updated look from 2015 to 2017, known as the C7.5 A7. You can find either version for under $25k used, and they're fantastic cars for everyday use. They offer a mix of power and comfort, with an aggressive style, a sleek roofline, a pop-up rear wing, and a spacious trunk. Plus, with a powerful engine and lots of options for customization—like honeycomb grills, diffusers, front lips, and side skirts—the A7 is a dream car for enthusiasts.
On the used market, a C7 A7's price typically ranges from $9,000 to $15,000, depending on how many miles it's driven and its condition. The updated C7.5 A7 goes for between $15,000 to $25,000, and possibly even higher for models with low mileage.

If you like the power of the S4 but need a car as big as the A8, the Audi A6 is a great middle choice. It offers a good mix of space, speed, price, and looks.
People who know a lot about Audis will see that the A6 and the A7 are almost the same inside. They have the same engine, transmission, tech features, and the Quattro system that powers all four wheels. The main difference is how they look: the A6 looks more like a fancy business car, not so much a sports car.
The A6 was made from 2012 to 2014 as the C7 model, and then it got a new look from 2015 to 2017, called the C7.5. Today, you can find these cars used for a good price. The older C7 models cost between $6,000 and $12,000, while the newer C7.5 models, which are a bit harder to find, cost between $17,000 and $22,000.
And if you're worried about not having enough power, don't be. These A6 cars have the same strong 3.0T engine that the S4 has. So, they're really fun to drive!

The Audi A5 has a unique charm that resonates deeply with me, almost like it's the dream car every boy imagines owning. It doesn't disappoint, whether we're talking specs, price, or performance.
Spanning two generations from 2013 to 2021, the A5 has seen significant evolution. The earlier 2013-2017 models are equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that strikes a perfect balance for daily driving, with enough potential for power upgrades. For those seeking more performance, the B8.5 S5 variant is a joy to drive – and I speak from personal experience.
Pricing for a 2013-2017 Audi A5 varies from $11,000 to $16,000, depending on factors like mileage and condition, while the S5 from the same years ranges from $17,000 to $25,000.
But let's not overlook the 2018-2021 A5. This period marks a revolutionary phase for the A5, maintaining the same body style, which Audi continues to produce. It earns its place on the list of best Audis you can buy for under $25,000, though it's a bit of a stretch budget-wise.
Indeed, if we're talking about stretching the budget for quality, the B9 A5, produced between 2018 and 2021, is worth every penny over the $25,000 mark. It also features a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine as standard. However, in today's used market, the starting price for one of these newer models is around $30,000. Despite the higher price, its value in terms of innovation and performance cannot be overstated.

From 2013 to 2017, the Audi A3 stood out as a favorite among Audi's lineup in North America, marking Audi's shift from its traditional hatchback design to a compact sedan that quickly won over the market.

It's become one of the most customizable Audis worldwide, with a vast array of mods available for enthusiasts who love to tweak and personalize their vehicles.
As a daily driver, the A3 excels in nearly every area. It boasts a robust powertrain, a contemporary infotainment system, and a version of Audi's famed Quattro system tailored for this model. Its affordability is unmatched in its class, with prices ranging from $12,000 to $19,000. This makes the A3 a great choice for those looking to own a dynamic mini sedan with endless possibilities for customization.

The Audi TT is Audi's smallest car, and when you see the RS badge, you know it's all about speed and fun. The 2013 Audi TT RS is a perfect example of a car that's made just for the joy of driving, not for running errands or practical stuff. People who buy it are looking for excitement.
The 2013 version is especially great because it's the easiest one to find for under $30,000. Even though the TT RS doesn't change much from year to year, the 2013 model is the best deal. It gives you the right mix of speed, modern features, and a good price.
There's a funny way people talk about the TT RS's engine. They say it's like you took an Audi R8, which has a huge V10 engine, cut it in half, and added a turbo. So, you get a smaller car that still feels a bit like the powerful R8.

If you love powerful, small cars, the RS3 is perfect for you. The 2009-2013 Audi RS3 is great if you want to spend less than $30,000. It's like a mini supercar: small, fast, and really fun to drive and customize. Plus, this car was made to be driven hard, modded, and thoroughly enjoyed.
But, there's a catch. If you're in the US or Canada, you can't buy this model—it's only available in Europe. There, you can find it for between $25,000 and $30,000.
