I have a Thesis in the same color, only under the hood 3.0V6. I hope to install 3.2 this year 😁 None of the Thesis versions have soft-close doors. There is only a soft-close boot lid. The electric handbrake is automatic, at least in the case of an automatic gearbox, it applies itself when stopped for a longer period (for example at a red light), and releases itself when you accelerate and start moving. After stopping and turning off the engine, it also starts up by itself. This function can be deactivated once in the radionavigator menu
