This Kia Piccanto, requires your foot on the brake to go into
reverse. Probably a good idea. Also to go into Park.

So when I turn the car off while it's in Neutral, and I get out of the
car, and it starts rolling, I have to get back in the car while it's
rolling to put my foot on the brake to shift into Park!

I believe all cars are like this now-but I'm not putting money on it.
I guess you don't use the PARKING brake either...

Sometimes I do, if the situation calls for it.
Parking in Neutral ALWAYS calls for it - - - -


Not relevant to me. I don't park iln Neutral unless I make a mistake,
like I have 2 or 3 times with this car. I park in Park.


Let's review what you said earlier:

"What crap. I take very good care of the car, probably better than you
treat rentals."

2 or 3 mistakes in the short time you've had this car. It sounds more like
*luck* than caring that you haven't let this vehicle roll into a damaging
situation yet.

If you really cared, you'd pay attention to what gear it is in before you get
out - every time.

I'm betting on Akvavit. It's a bit stronger than his normal
American brew????
