Yeah I don't bitch about it because reverse isn't exactly a frequent drive mode, but it almost feels like you're in 5th gear or something while reversing-- very little throttle response.

Good thing I am not planning to wear a helmet in this car. Any 6’-3”+ folks feel claustrophobic?

Gripe off:
- I am happy to report that I can take this gripe OFF the list. I went ahead and purchased the RS5 SB, and I am happy to report that (at 6'3") I fit just fine. Actually, fits the same as my A4, and no big difference. I still don't think a helmet would work though.

Gripe on:
- The cupholder situation is silly, as reported... doesn't play well with taller flasks.
- The ConnectPlus ConnectPRIME is nuts. $48/mo? Nuts.
