• Car for a vicar and his family! 5 Jun 2019 (Forum)
  Great thinks I, let's have a look at the newer model Picasso, stick to petrol (due to their mileage and short runs) and see what's available. Then my BiL casually mentions that he has heard some cars now have an "automatic handbrake". I spent some time explaining the joys (and perils) of the electric handbrake and he announced he couldn't possibly have a car with one of those. TBH, given his lack of mechanical sympathy and the way he drives, I'm inclined to agree that he just wouldn't get used to it!

• Audi Q2 - first 1,000 miles 25 May 2018 (Forum)
    And there's an indescribably good feeling that never again will I have to reach for the parking brake down by my right knee.  I still prefer a manual handbrake, but this one comes on and off automatically when you stop and start, and is doing its best to convert me. It's mostly very well furnished inside, although the door cards feel hard and basic, with a fine high driving position and very supportive seats.
