    Small cars with electronic or foot parking brakes?

    My 17-year-old granddaughter is learning to drive but is having some difficulty with releasing the handbrake. She has myotonia which means that the muscles in her fingers spasm and don't release when she grips something strongly. Can you suggest a small car that has either a foot handbrake or an electronic one such as in my Hyundai Santa Fe — something that does not have to be gripped to be released. She is hoping to get something small and recent enough to have airbags.

    It's not going to be cheap because electronic handbrakes and foot brakes are rare in the compact class. The Honda HR-V has an electric brake and starts at $26,990 on the road, or you can get the bigger Camry with a foot brake for $28,990 drive away.
