And i am disappointed i see no handbrake lever just seems to be a electronic parking brake instead.
I am interested in the new A3 particularly the S3 or RS3 as my next car but i want my car to have the main controllers to be as manual as possible "manual gearbox, manual handbrake, steering, fully disconnectable ESP/Traction Control even under heavy braking ect" i hope the electronic parking brake is just an option.
I can sort of understand the electronic parking brake in a big luxury car like a A8 but for an example a small S3 or RS3 that supposedly is meant to be fun drivers cars i dont.
Looked at the new BMW 3 series it still have the conventional handbrake lever.
I dont like the evolution some cars make that eventually you just a passenger not actually driving the car.
What do you guys think?
