| 846263 | 2010-01-06 04:00:00 | Just got me thinking. Mum is getting a car is maybe June if and only if WOF is not passed. Engine is fine but some rust. Dad got a car from Turners 2yrs ago. $5k or something if correct. 2000 Toyota 2.2 Camry, auto, stationwagon import from Japan. Maybe it was a lower price because of the foot handbrake. So are you ok with that given its a car that gets you from A to B, not your ideal car of course. I notice some cars also have the gear changing sick near the dashboard where the heater / radio is and in the crinkle design. |

| 846266 | 2010-01-06 04:24:00 | What's eh? Foot handbrake. It an auto car. So where the clutch (in an manual car) there is a pedal that you kick down for the handbrake and kick again to release it. There is no handbrake between the 2 front seats. The auto gear stick in a car or in the more compact cars, might of been a Honda Jazz not sure. Instead of placed between the 2 front seats it is next to the heater or stereo (like a van). When you pull down from P to D to 1 or 2 etc .. it is not straight down but down and a bit to the left or right ... ie., a crinkle design. |

| 846268 | 2010-01-06 04:43:00 | You guys haven't seen them? Been out for some yrs. You find the rental car companies have them in the compact cars. Automatic car with 3 pedal. From the left; handbrake, gas and brake. :p I'm not joking. |

| 846269 | 2010-01-06 04:46:00 | Cefiros have them. Really not much difference to a traditional handbrake. | pine-o-cleen (2955) | ||
| 846270 | 2010-01-06 04:47:00 | I don't see what the point of the thread is. And I refuse to believe that the vehicle has the accelerator in the middle and brake on the far right. |

| 846272 | 2010-01-06 05:14:00 | The CRV model after mine has the "foot handbrake" - it's known as the "Parking Brake" and is a feature of American cars (or cars designed for the American market). It's a PITA and is the reason I will not upgrade (apart from the $$$) to the newer model CRV. If I'm driving an automatic, I only want two pedals on the floor and a footrest to put my left foot on. As for the gear change in the dash, I find it perfectly serviceable and in fact have difficulty when driving a car with the gear change between the front seats, always reaching for the dash to change into reverse or drive. The dashboard gearchange is very easy to get used to and gives you more floor space in the front. Years ago the gear change for most biggish cars was on the steering column - not much different from that. |
