In my opinion, it would take longer to get moving if you use the handbrake than using just the regular brakes. What about owners of the new Passat, what do they do? The new Passat doesn't have a normal handbrake, but an electro-mechanical brake operated by a switch. I know it will release if you have the seat belt fastened and you depress the accelerator (don't know about manual transmission, I have DSG transmission), but I would guess that would wear it out fairly quickly
