[s-cars] Brake pedal firmness

[Wayne Dohnal]

All of the brake servo postings are encouraging me to ask a different brake 
question.  I sometimes drive 2 other vehicles, and compared to those, the S4 
has very light steering and requires more force on the brake pedal.  This 
hasn't caused me any problem and the brakes seem to work just fine.  But 
when driving the S4 for the first time yesterday after 2 weeks with a rental 
car, I found myself stepping on the brake with what seemed like a firm push, 
and nothing happened.  After 30 minutes or so I got myself recalibrated to 
the brake pedal and all was normal again.

So my question for those who routinely drive other vehicles:  Does the the 
S4 take significantly more pressure on the brake pedal than the other cars?

This isn't a case of no brake boost at all.  When doing the bomb depletion 
test, the brake force changes from very firm to practically immovable.  The 
pedal force has been the same for the 3-1/2 years that I've had the car.
