Hello

I am looking to upgrade my S70 to an S80 or V70. Would be looking for a petrol, manual which I appreciate are less common

The only issue that is putting me off an S80/V70 is the electric handbrake. Call me old fashioned but I'm quite happy using a handle. I used to have an S-type Jaguar with an electric handbrake and it became unreliable.

Is the electric handbrake on the Volvo reliable? And if it goes wrong, is it generally an expensive fix?
