So I guess I'm the only one that likes to open someones door or touch their parking sensor on the mk7 when they're reversing so activate the automatic break to scare them?  :whistle:

I've never touched the hand brake or auto hold since the day I picked my car up, both on by the way. 👍

Having had Auto hold & DSG for the several VWs I would never go back to the old handbrake.

Again set it on day one and then forget it ...

Just checked again and the EPB only comes on if you are in a gear when the door is opened.

Auto braking I think was only on the MK7.5...mind you don't get run over... Oh and they might have it turned off too
