Talking of gripes. One hesitation I have on getting a RS5 SB is HEADROOM. While the stats say the same as my A4, the ‘5’ roofline is lower and i was surprised how low the inside ceiling was. Maybe an inch or two of clearance. I am 6’3”, and Audi’s have always had wonderful legroom and headroom - the headroom has never been an issue in the A4, Q7, all with sunroofs, or my ex TTS. Good thing I am not planning to wear a helmet in this car.
Any 6’-3”+ folks feel claustrophobic?

You dont need to bed stock brake pads, all you will be doing by stopping from 70 to zero hard 3-4 times is wearing the **** out of your brakes lol.

Also, if you actually know how to adjust your mirrors right there is no problem with these mirrors.
It may not be how you are used to doing it, but its the proper way. All cars should be set as described below and you should get used to driving a car with the mirrors set this way, you will never have a blind spot really.
With your head against the glass you should just be able to see the side of the car in the driver mirror. With your head in the centerline of the car (to the right of drivers position) you should just be able to see the passenger side of the car. Side mirrors are not for looking behind you, they are for looking at the sides.

I am always open to learning new things. Can you refer me to objective evidence that supports your claim? Also, it is unlikely you will wear the "****" out of them with 4 hard stops.

Aftermarket brakes, new brake pads that are not OEM, yes bed them and do it properly per the pad manufacturers specification (not the way it was described above, there are different procedures for different compounds)
