They don't give you a spare tyre, and no TPM?  That's crazy.  Even $100k Mit Eclipse comes std!

To change to Flat bottom steering wheel - Premium Automobile quoted $1,700 for it. I checked with them.

Outside workshops like VAG, Audikit & DEK are cheaper, since no warranty issue anyway.

Welcome to Premium Auto. They were used to NOT even give you a reverse camera! Lol

I think you should have one of the first in SG. Congrats! How has your "long term" ownership been?

I have been made known the 17" model during the first day of Motorshow as it has just cleared homologation. Didn't knew PA was already offering it before that?

Oh is it? I din take note of that. Only rem the SE saying about some 360 cam.

PA has the option to use Open COE for your order; if they use yesterday's Open COE, then on paper, your effective COE would be $31k. Hope it doesnt happen to you.  It depends on the next round of COE swings.

Although still included in their Price List, I don't think anyone would order the 18" wheel model and pay $10k more because of different VES banding.

My SE has confirmed - no TPMS!  So, I am going to buy a set of TPMS (internal type) as they are inexpensive now.  Some years ago, I had a set (brand - Yellow something?) and it costs me $250!

From my limited understanding, TPMS is tapped off from the ABS system.  So, it should be in the system, but is locked.  Hopefully, PA (or Audi) will unlock it soon.  If not, then go 3rd party and have it unlocked; there is a guy that is already doing it on the A4.  Of course, warranty will be at risk!

Hi sorry quite a noob when it comes to this. If I ordered in Jan but car comes around April, the coe will be bid in April? May I ask what are there any benefits/downsides should the coe price rise or decrease by then

So far quite good. Except when I go up a steep straight slope, it sometimes lack power. I think is because it went to gear 2 too fast instead of staying at gear 1. Another thing is the gps not so accurate. It does not seem to guide to most efficient route compared to Google maps. Maybe the lta updates is slower? Also the audi camera not easy to connect and update firmware. Took me a while to resolve problem. Also they give 8GB micro sd card only. I change to a 128gb myself as the service guy says that’s the maximum that camera can accept although internet video I saw someone use 256gb. But overall I love the car. People always tell me they thought it’s a Q5. So far I have never met another new Q3 on the road. Enjoy everyone when u get the car.

I don’t have 17 inch option in late nov. I think is a new option meant for motor show. I choose the most basic option as the other 2 options is a lot more for exterior upgrades only

Think if coe rises higher, good for u as u already locked in the car price at lower coe.

what colour did you get? Brown seats?

So far in my 1 week of driving to work I haven't found power to be much of an issue yet, but I also hardly even drive expressway. Steering is very light, almost too light. The dynamic mode sounds great, but for the most part I'm enjoying the comfort level and quietness.

My one complaint is how the MMI and carplay work together. I'm using carplay wireless and quite a pain to get my spotify on carplay to work so usually end up just using spotify via bluetooth. It seems very inconsistent as it works sometimes and other times it doesn't. I'm also using the Audi car cam and agree with you that the connection is quite irritating. I haven't changed the SD yet to a bigger capacity, but just to connect can be irritating as my phone wants to autoconnect to the MMI system rather than the camera. Overall though it's a great ride. I have yet to see another one yet on the road.
