I'd like a car with a button parking brake...

Hi, I'm looking to buy a car but I want the electric handbrake. I'm moving to Dubai in August 2023, is there any older cars that have the button? I don't know if it makes any sense to buy the 2020/2019 car I had planned if I am moving so soon. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ?

Our answer:

Hi Jenny,

One of the earliest push-button parking brakes we can think of was on the 2005-on Volkswagen Passat, so it's not as new an invention as you might think. Regardless, with values of used cars so buoyant, I'd suggest that it won't be a problem to buy a car now and resell it in 2023.
