I used the hand brake on all of my manual transmission cars up to now. The 991 with hill hold sucks, and i would prefer a hand brake. The hand brake also serves to relax a manual shift newbie. i also use the hand brake when parking our two cars, one auto and one manual, and my automatic pick up when parking on a hill. With the autos, the brake is applied before slipping into park; much easier on the transmission moving from park to drive when pulling away again, and it's the brake holding the car in position, not the trans. Might be why it's called a "parking brake"?
