I think I have forgotten the E-Brake on a lot of cars, fortunately never without consequence except the first time on a 69 VW beetle. Smell burning do you
For what it's worth, I had an Electric switch E brake on my 2019 Jetta DD, it was not my favourite. This car was very base DD so when I traded that thing in for a 2020 Golf GTI, it came with a real hand brake, honestly, that is more to my liking. I have the umbrella brake on my Roadster but for true usability the mid seat location with a real E-Brake handle is my preference. Just saying.
