Mother in Law's visiting and was given a Vauxhall Meriva hire car. On climbing in the back through what was once known as a "suicide" door (hinges at the back) I was faced with this:
.....and instantly I thought "DAF"! Reminding me of the handle by the windscreen.
These Merivas come with a push button handbrake. The M.I.L coincidentally bought a new Corsa a year back, but missed out on this little gem of tech, She's taking a little while to get used to the routine involved in putting it on and taking it off, with my wife - shouting the instructions from the back seat, as she seemed to take them in better than M.I.L did.
Wonder how easy your hill starts are with one of those!?
