Perhaps aimed at Euro people - who has driven a manual with a pushbutton handbrake? I haven't and I've been keen to know how it works in the real world.
Chevy SS has a stick and electronic parking brake. It's fine, I guess. You can't use the handbrake for starting on steep hills, but it does have hill hold like I'm sure the G80 will have. But I don't always trust hill hold. The electronic parking brake does release automatically if you start driving though, but it's a little slower than doing it by hand.

So other than handbrake slides, it's pretty much the same. I've heard you can still force the electronic parking brake to engage if you hold it while driving, but I haven't tried that.
