I tested a Subaru manual at the dealer a few years back. The exit from the dealership was uphill onto a busy road. So, I stopped and reached for the handbrake.

There was no handbrake.

I managed to work my way back down to the dealership and asked, "Where's the handbrake?"

It turned out that Subaru had decided to replace it with a button and an "automatic" "hill-holder" feature.
