Still pretty cold for Summer tires. Combining the standing water with the reduced traction was the cause. Your new Audi should come with all seasons and of course AWD so you'll be better off in the Winter but you still have to watch out for ice and really large puddles, I've seen even AWD cars go for a spin at speed before.

Glad your weren't hurt, congrats on the new A3
