   Does anybody else find the pedals to be just a little small and close together? I have my Saxo for learning in at the same time as having official lessons in a Fiesta Mk7 belonging to a driving instructor and I find there is quite a difference in pedal position between the cars, When I'm in my Saxo it feels like I'm wearing clown shoes as I often catch the brake pedal at the same time as the accelerator. Is there any way to get the pedals wider spaced?

   It'll just take some getting used to. Be fine once you've been driving it a while.

   I bent them out a little on my first 106, haven't bothered with any of the others though to be honest as you just get used to it. I actually quite like it for spirited driving.

   Problem is, there's not really a whole lotta space down there to begin with.
   
   Takes a little getting used to but after a while you'll forget its any different to be honest.
   
   Just one of the 'quirks' of a saxo / 106

   Choose your driving shoes carefully, maybe keep a 'special' pair in the car.

    I can drive mine in trainers, boots, work shoes without any problem - i'm a size 10 as well so not exactly small feet.
