No. I just mean parked on a hill. The VibeS has rear discs ?
When parked on a hill in a manual, you are supposed to put your car in gear (1st or reverse) and angle your front wheels in facing the kerb. Not many modern cars are able to hold the car on a hill using just teh parking brakes alone.

I went from 2007 FD1 auto to 2009 Jazz VTI manual... Well, the Jazz was for my wife but I have been driving it around..
A gutsy little car with superb fuel economy. The shifting is really smooth and short IMO..
I just ordered a set of wheels to replace stock hub caps...

It does have rear discs. Now you mention it, when parked on a hill at my youngest sons kindy it doesn't hold as good and there "some" movement when getting in out. Luckily mine is an auto and the park brake holds it.
Jazz: stock, K&N panel filter.
120 Series Prado GXL Petrol: Pacemaker extractors, Dual 2 1/4" exhaust, 70 series MT STZ's, ARB non-winch bullbar, snorkel, Dimpled and slotted rotors.
i went from a GD to a b16 EG damm do i miss the low rpms the CVT would pull off... cruising in 5th at 100kms is like 3300rpm in the civic...
I remember reading somewhere that drums really were great for the back because they allowed less slippage when used as a park brake. where as discs kind of loosen a lil.
notice on newer cars that have discs all round; u stop the car, up the hand brake and it rolls back abit before grabbing completely. theres just more play, its normal though.
