...how do you manage to drive a Saxo!? :panic:
I went for a test drive in a VTR yesterday and was pressing all three pedals with one foot. lolz
I can't remember about this issue when I had the 106 or Saxo, maybe I'm used to the big Vectra pedals now.
Btw I'm size 11.

When I had my old saxo, at first it was tricky to get used to the offset peddles, but in time you get used to it. Also, because they're close together you can practice heel and toe shifts for track days ;). Annoying on long journeys though...

I found it difficult after driving my mums astra for a week then coming back to my sax and I'm a size 12.
On long journeys I can't put my left foot down anywhere as if I put it to the left pulling it back up again gets caught around the clutch = problems. But thats probably just me being clumsy, it's easy enough to get used to though.
