Did you happen to test drive a C43? I wonder how the RS5 compares as a driver.

If you signal before changing lanes then it also gives a warning sign if something is too close

I didn't... With my C63 S though, the back drifting pretty much stopped after the first day as I'm a bit more cautious when turning into a street (which was when I noticed the back flying to the side). Also primarily I'm trying to go easy on the car. It doesn't even have 150 miles on it yet.

I learned this totally randomly. It's a great feature. The equivalent on RS5 was the light in the mirror housing flashing very rapidly if I signaled with a car next to me.
