^^ I'm sorry, what?

I think he's saying something about when people change their brake pads they don't follow instructions properly and it engages the electronic brake system and I'm assuming he's worried this might happen at the place which he owns which is why he now supervises his staff to make sure it doesn't happen.

Is this another case of stupid pointless technology only complicating the ownership experience? What are the benefits of an electric parking brake on any car, especially a hot hatch? From my observations, the freeing up of space for oddment storage hasn't actually resulted in any additional storage in the MkVII, so what is the point of it? Can anyone advise will I miss the handbrake in my MkV GTI when it will be sold later in the year?

Sure, like I said I'm here to assist where I can.. and I certainly assist little when it comes to under the hood help.

Does the GTI Performance have digital Speedo?

Nope. Just normal dials and a digital readout if you choose the setting on the MFD screen between the odo and speedo
