with any of the cars same can be said with my parents cars
I have owned 8 cars over a period of 25 years - I too have never pushed the button in on the handbrake and never had an issue neither have I felt the need to leave a car in gear for fear of the handbrake failing. That is until I bought the civic, handbrake dropped down three times each time straight after applying and whilst I was in the car I sent it back to the dealership to check in July 2006 after it happened the first time and was told nothing was wrong!!
