I'm curious it it is just me, but after 250 miles and several trips I'm forming the opinon the pedal spacing on this car is not designed properly. Specifically there is less than 1/2" between the toe of my right foot and the brake pedal when moved all the way to the right to press on the gas.
I find I'm accidently hitting the brake a lot. size 13 shoe with normal dress shoes. I was thinking on my drive this morning that there might be no way I can drive with a pair of boots on.
There apprears to be tons of space on the left of the clutch. Much like the rest of the car, VW appears to have stretched the car out from the center and didn't move hardware around (example the steering wheel being off center). So I think they widened the center console, but did not move the pedals to the left resulting in inadequate space for the gas pedal.
I've been driving my B4 for years without any trouble and I've been my foot catching the brake a lot. Anyone else have this experience?
