The audi's are known to eat through rotors kinda like viggens are know to go through them. The car in question here is definantly NOT known to eat rotors & with street driving (as in zero track use) they should be able to last 100,000 miles.
I feel the quality of the parts or I guess material used in the rotors is the deciding factor in how long they last & not really how it's driven on the street! Stop & go traffic isn't really hard on them unless it's constantly at the max braking limit like when your at a track where the rotors get VERY hot & the pads are throwing off smoke which just doesn't happen on the street :) Also if the pads are agressive at all it will firther eat up the rotors.
