My first car after getting my driving license was a manual car with a handbrake stick lever. But that was like a quarter of a century ago. Don't know about manual cars now. But it will be safer and more ergonomic for them to use hand-pull parking brake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I also dunno, my cars so far more than 10 y o. Put me in the latest model I probably cannot even get it started. Remembered many years back need to use uncle's cefiro to fetch him at airport, I think I could not figure out how to release "hand brake"... OMG. I dunno I feel some stuff should keep it mechanical or hydraulic so if the area kanna a EMP blast, kanna remotely hijacked, at least still got means to stop or slow down the vehicle 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past two weeks handled or test-driven some new cars with handbrake levers, some are indeed thicker than others. And some are softer than others; maybe they are covered with some kind of rubbery foam and wrapped in leather. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old manual 200E Merc foot brake with release pull handle on the right side of the steering. Mind boggling to operate. In the end didn't get it.

ER-3682 Twincharged May 12, 2021 Share May 12, 2021 W124 Foot Operated Parking Brake with Release Handle on the Right Side,really a Lousy Design,W126 just Right Side Pull Handbrake is the best Design....the best Foot Parking Brake is Toyota 2003 Camry,Step to engage,Step 1 more time to release. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowshaun 4th Gear May 12, 2021 Share May 12, 2021 Once i sat in a PHV going ~100kmh and the traffic in front suddenly stop. He had to supplement the foot brake with hand brake. If no hand brake kiss the car in front liao. I wonder if the EPB can provide additional braking power? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
