So the big Question Normal or Electric Handbreak?

[Flukey]

There are enough safety features in the VF to allow you to drive out of a situation without needing the handbrake.
I think changing handbrakes would be one of the more pointless mods you could do.
Just put better brakes in.

There is some situations where a "Normal" Handbreak will come into a must, such as dangerous situations on the road, someone pulling out on u sometimes the break isn't enough if u can get ur car to swerve around them etc now i know it would rarely happen, but there is also **** like ur breaks failing but i doubt that will happen

on a good day, how many meds are you on at once? and are they all pescribed by your high school nurse?

Things I have never done or even considered doing when somebody pulled out in front of me: Yanking on the handbrake.

The end.

The only annoying thing is with the manual you get used to being able to roll back at an intersection if you are sticking out too far, but the electric hand brake doesn't allow you to do that.

Few probs I would have. Parking up hill on a steep driveway I have to count the clicks to hold but conserve the poor designed Holden handbrake or it would need adjusting every month. When teaching kids to drive I have needed to use handbrake. Wouldn't use a comy as they don't apply smooth, more like come on with a bang.

Those problems are eliminated with the electric handbrake, so what is the issue?

 

[phillmac]

Biggest problem is if the mechanics are the same as they have used for 10 years or more and I can't go easy on it counting clicks, it will be stretched and needing adjustment every month.

nope. all electronic right at the caliper. no cables or anything

No adjustment necessary. No cables to stretch. Anyone that wants an antiquated manual handbrake can have it on their own!. The electric has no downside AFAI am concerned.

Wow, I should go to one of the **** local dealers and test drive one of the new big boys to check out all this tech stuff.
