Which automatic cars are fitted with an electric handbrake?
My wife needs to replace her Peugeot 206 automatic. It suits her because, due to arthritis, she is unable to press the button on the gear lever used to unlock the park mode. Instead, the brake pedal has to pressed, which is fine. Are there any other automatic cars of similar size which do not have this button and which is the best?
