If it has rear brake discs and pads this is the Kia Picanto in disguise....very good car but always make sure the rear pads are free in their slides....very common problem on the Picanto.

The Picanto (which she also liked) is based on a shortened Getz, so I'll keep an eye on the rear pads. Might inspect them when I come to service it.

Handbrake is powerful though, when used to the sloppy 406 handbrake and the Honda's handbrake I suspect was underused (parked in 'P')
