same with me ,I had an Astra roll back and get damaged previously and will not purchase with electronic brake again
What is an electronic handbrake?

"Electronic handbrakes hold more firmly than regular cable-operated brakes, and because there is (usually) no physical cable which can stretch over time, there’s less adjustment needed – so you’re much less likely to find your car scooting backwards off your sloped driveway in the night."

If you don't like the electronic handbrake but really want a car that has one and don't trust it, simply leave the car in gear when you park up and leave the car.

Turning the steering wheel so it points to the the kerb if facing downhill, or away from the kerb if facing uphill, is an added safety measure. Using Park in an auto transmission is a further measure.

As per the Highway code but some of us will not have read it in a while.

Definitely a proper sliding sunroof
Space saver spare wheel
Retractable boot cover
If it had those I would have a new one on order

CX5 is very nice - but kids grown up so don't need that extra space - CX3 more the actual size I'd want ;)

You can keep the electric brake, it probably just speeds up assembly, cuts costs and gives the service mechanics one less thing to do, i.e., adjust the cable, with no commensurate reduction in service cost!!

Any thing that would give Land Rover , Range Rover , Jeep and Maxi Cooper a run for their money.
