Default Just picked up a new A3

First post. Lots to learn. I'm 25 and owned lots of new cars however never really had anything "special". I traded in a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. Bought it on a whim and needed something to absorb the negative equity from an awful lease deal. Purchased it in Sept 2016 and just traded it in. Had 34k on it, I drove a decent amount.

Previously owned a 2008 Suzuki SX4 when I get was 16, then 2013 Suzuki SX4 Sportback, then a 2013 Dodge Dart 2.0 slow, 2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T, Jeep, and now a 2018 A3 2.0 Quattro Premium Plus with led package and sport package. I love it!

My fiance has a 2013 BMW 335i Msport so Im excited to step up to a "premium" brand. We both have silver cars and they look great.

I plan to wax it soon, debadge, and get the windows tinted. I have lots of reading to do and want to make this car my own, but with class. Interested one day in a tune and soon to reprogram some things via OBEleven. What other tweeks or mods can be done with my new ride?
Glad to be here, lots to learn

Welcome! Nice car, I'm a silver-phile too.

Funny, no mention of a Chevy at all.

Haha. I can explain. I've used the same user name on all the forums since I was 15 when I saw a brown Z28 in my neighborhood and bought it. This was in 2008 when gas was $4 a gallon. I was awful. Think my dad paid $3k for it. No working seat belts, bad thermostat, no air bag, all brown interior. My dad ended up selling it while I was away and surprised me with the new orange Suzuki for my 16th birthday. It was a 4 speed automatic and did 0-60 in like 9.6 seconds. Perfect car for a 16 yr old haha. It was very customized as I was young and dumb and spent all my birthday money on that car lol

Welcome to the Audi family Chevyguy. Lots of great people on this forum who will gladly help with any questions. I've learned much from them!. Silver is a nice color. Was the color of my first Audi; back in 1985. Hints at my age I realized. LOL. Enjoy your car! Congrats.
