No matter how actuated (foot or hand) it only brakes the rear, and is pretty wimpy, so it takes a long time to stop...but it CAN be modulated...
Wease- hear you on the autohold. But somehow I've managed to drive a manual car on roads around the world that would stall some cars, and never rolled into the stuff behind me. Seems a price paid in terms of reliability and function simply for the benefit of a shiny feature for consumers enamored with shiny objects...

PS thanks for the info on the failure mode.
