What sort of noise does it make?
Mine was replaced just before I bought the car and they are noisy when compared to the two passats in work.

Can someone explain the rationale behind EPBs. What drove an engineer to say, "you know, there is a problem with the old fashioned parking brake system and I can design something which makes it better".
What was the problem? how has the EPB made it better? I am genuinely curious.

Form over function I suspect.
The designer was there drawing a car and thought the parking brake was ugly and never flowed well for his current dash designs, so removed it and forced the engineers to go EPB. I thought the foot parking brakes from the BMW 7 and VW touaregs was fine. Even the old patrol pull brakes at a push.
