Overall, once used to it, works well. Wife drives the car all the time and loves it.
Just been looking at the new Opel Astra.
We have a similar handbrake on our Renualt Scenic. There's a little "paddel" on the RHS of the steering wheel".
That would confuse me even more! At least this button is where the handbrake should be, so I'll be reaching in the correct direction!
Test drove it today, love the car, but I have to admit this electric brake will take some getting used to.
With 4 years warrenty, I would hope that would cover any potential problems with it.
Just been looking at the new Opel Astra. The ones on sale do not have a traditional handbrake, but an electric button instead. Salesman did mention that Opel tried this out, but have returned to the traditional handbrake.
None of the cars for sale at the moment have a handbrake though.
Just wondering how other motorists have fared with this?
Why?
Considering the insane amount of expensive bills from a litany of failures of modern VW's ABS, Turbo's, I don't think you can include VW in that list anymore. Most reviews Opel of late get decent reviews and you don't hear of more problems with them than other Brands. Could you be more specific than "rubbish"?
Also in the Meriva you can get the electronic windows to wind down from outside by holding the unlock button on the remote key for a few seconds. might be handy if we ever get a summer again.
