^^ Ok, so with those mods I assume you would not let me pass you. For long.

Love the color -- saw one like yours last weekend shopping for a Q3 for my son. He's off to college soon -- hockey and Lacrosse bags will be involved.

In person, the color looked much darker than your photo, though.

While running navigation and using car Bluetooth to have a phone call, the person I was talking to could not hear the very loud navigation prompts over the phone, even if I was talking at the same time. The car filtered it out of the transmitted voice.

We all know that the side mirrors fold out of the way. But if you push them in the opposite position they fold in the other direction which allows the water to drain out when you wash the car.

Sounds great. I was not aware that the mirrors could be manually folded, just auto-folded on lock (which I have mine set to do). Tried giving mine a nudge and there was enough resistance that I'm going to wait for confirmation before I torque them harder.

Can you rotate them from the folded in to the extra-out-folded, or do you need to do that from the normal driving starting position?

It may not be a gem but it might be the most obscure:
If you turn on the make-up mirror light on the visor and then slide the visor on its support shaft then the light will go off.
Now there is something I bet you're glad you now know!

Outstanding gem! Now if only Audi thought of some of the other stuff they left out.

Has anyone tried/verified pushing the side mirrors in the other direction to try the tip 4 posts back? I hate to sound selfish, but I'm not really up for possibly moving the mirrors on my brand new car manually in a direction that they may not have been intended to move. With a motorized mirror assembly, this seems a bit risky.
