I tried kicking my foot around under the bumper when i first got the car with no luck. I'll have to be more deliberate about it this time.

One other thing I noticed on the test drive which seems really weird to me. The underneath area of the center console is open at the front. Items placed in the tray under the armrest would slide forward under braking, I would think. Plus every time you park, you would have to push stuff back up underneath to keep it out of view. Seems like bad design. How is it working in practice?

Have been a long time Audi fan and strayed an picked up a 2016 BMW 428i Xdrive Gran Coupe. (I order an 2017 A7 Prestige to replace it and am waiting for delivery.) I have to say....the BMW is pretty cool with very few complaints as well. A 5 door hatchback/coupe/sedan (haha) is great idea and glad to see Audi sent the A5/S5 sportback stateside.

What I noticed in the Allroad is that the proper place to do the "kick" to open the trunk is aligned with the bumper sensors, the one just to the right off the middle of the bumper.

Not a current owner, but I am a prospective buyer doing research and trying to decide between the 2018 S5 Sportback and the 2018 SQ5. A couple nit picky things I notice not available on the S5 I wish were included:
*LED contour lighting does not include a strip along/under the dash like the Q models.
*MMI not including the all-in-touch pad with handwriting-recognition. Why would Audi not include this with their new technology roll out on all models?

The MMI touchpad has handwriting recognition. It says it right on the website.

Available MMI touch features handwriting-recognition technology so you can simply “write” your entry instead of selecting individual numbers or letters as found in traditional systems. The two touch-keys allow you to select with the left key and see options with the right key, much like a mouse or keyboard.

I agree an accent light would be nice on the dash.
