i rented a VW Passat the other day and the parking brake was a button on the dashboard.
i'm renting a merc C220 next week for my little trip through the dolomites and Monza, and I'm reliably informed it has a foot operated parking brake!
In an automatic i can understand it because they dont roll backwards on hills, but these cars are manual. Anyone know how to stop it rolling backwards when starting on a hill? I mean i can just burn the clutch out but i'd rather drive it properly.
