Since you Ozzies have the steering wheel on the right side this may be of concern to you:

Suzuki suspends UK sales of new Celerio due to braking problem - ITV News

Quote:
... during an 80mph emergency breaking test the brake pedal became stuck in the fully depressed position and had no effect on the Suzuki's speed.

No braking effort could be exerted by forcing the pedal up and reapplying it.
The combined use of the handbrake and engine braking was needed for a controlled deceleration of the Celerio to a safe stop.
They'll find and fix this issue soon no doubt. But for now, take care.
