The question
I see the new Volkswagen Golf Mark 7 will be fitted with an electric parking brake. Is this a bad move from a reliability point of view?

Hi Noel,
As much as we dislike these, we've not heard of many problems with their reliability - other than early systems from Jaguar.
You could argue that every extra electronic sub-system is a cause for worry, but the modern car is already full of such devices.
