A mate of mine just got one. We were wondering how in the hell you were meant to start on a hill without rolling back. He hadn't discovered that hill start button, I must tell him. It is a very odd arrangement though.
Back on topic, I was at a wedding over the weekend where one of the guests handbrake failed outside the church, more or less came off in his hand. It was a Saab 93, 2 years old.
