Best car for someone with small feet ...

gemini_girl

I'm sure I might sound crazy but I have this issue where my feet are too small to leave my heel on the floor of the car & have my toes on the pedals at the same time. I have to use my toes on the pedals but keep my whole leg off the floor which results in cramps in my legs and feet. At the moment I am driving an automatic & don't have this problem but I am learning to drive manual now for about the 4th time & this has always been an issue for me in manual cars especially VW. I haven't had the best luck with cars so before I go buying another one I am going to do as much research as possible.
Is there such a thing as "small feet friendly" cars???

If they're not too old for you, a peugeot 206 has tiny pedals, close to the ground and really close to each other, I find myself almost pressing the clutch and the brake at the same time whenever I drive it, but I'm a lad :pac:

Something with an accelerator hinged on the floor.

My Civic has this, a lot of German cars have too. And some tractors.

Not sure where I'd fit the car seats on the ole tractor

I always found pedals in the scenic ridiculous. You nearly have to push them down not forwards.

We have a 206 here which I often drive. I have no problems with the pedals and Im a size 11 in shoes.

I hardly ever would drive it, its just I'm used to the Mondeo. It's not so bad if i'm wearing canvas shoes or runners, but when the pointy suit shoes come into the equation... :rolleyes:

Size 13 clown feet here. Got used to the 206 quick enough, but its true, its especially tight

I only ever drive it wearing work boots and never really had a problem. They are a good big closer together than they would be on the mondeo and even the fabia has more room around them

I usually drive using the top of my feet,i don't think i've ever used anywhere passed an inch of my toes (if even) for driving

This is for clutch and brake yeah? You can handle the accelerator?

You can get pedals tops custom made at a performance garage for not much.
Ask about getting rubber fitted on top too (for nct).

If you drive the 206 a lot you will eventually take no notice of the pedals. If your coming into a 206 from another car though the pedals can be a pain at first.

Now that looks about right.... And now that it was mentioned,the Passat B5.5(2001-2005)Clutch and Brake pedal are very close together.
