Hey all; glad to be here.

I'm David in Louisiana. In October I bought my third new Audi.

My car history beginning with my first Audi:

1981: New Audi 4000 4dr, FWD automatic, dark copper color. Loved it for 100Kmi.
1987: New Mk2 Golf, metallic grey, automatic FWD. Found this one languishing on the dealer's back lot, equipped only with automatic, sunroof and A/C. Had a great time outfitting it with a Denon stereo, Momo steering wheel and MSW rims. Loved it for 115Kmi.
1996: Went to the dark side with a new BMW 318ti hatchback, automatic black base model. Loved it for 100Kmi.
2004: Back to Audi with a new A4, dark blue automatic FWD. In spite of its troublesome CVT that was replaced under a class action lawsuit, loved it for 100Kmi (see a trend here?).
2013: Found a like-new 1997 BMW 318ti, dark blue automatic in an estate sale with only 39Kmi. Could not pass it up. Drove it 25Kmi and sold it to a collector.
2017: Back to Audi yet again! New Q3 FWD Premium, Monsoon Grey. Enjoying it and expect to...well, you know.

Looking forward to participating in the forums.

Monsoon Grey. Enjoying it and expect to...well, you know.

Welcome aboard. tap tap on the Monsoon. I honestly wanted Red but saw the Monsoon on the lot and loved it. Good luck with yours. As my father in law would say when I bought a new car..... congrats..wear it out and buy another one.

Tnx for the good wishes. I agree. Red would have been nice, and so would white. Had the car I sought been any of those three colors I would have gone for it.

Like with the 1987 Golf I was delighted to find a base Q3 not tricked out with unneeded options, and Monsoon Grey brought a feeling of nostalgia for that Golf. Living in the South I really don't need quattro, and a base Audi of any model is more than comfortable for long distance driving. I was glad to see Audi return to the Tiptronic for FWD as well as quattro.

Your father-in-law is/was very wise. I shall follow his advice.
