One For The Tall 205 Drivers

[allye 530 3 Cars]

Agreed, getting in and out is not gracious! I have size 13 feet and the 205 pedals are good unlike the awful saxo/106 which I just cannot drive in shoes. I love the summer time as I drive In bare feet every where!!!

I'm 5'7" with size 7 feet and still find the 106 pedals a bit of a pain! Sometimes trying to pull away then realise I'm pushing my foot on the wheel arch

It's strange that everyone mentions the pedal being close on 106's because when I passed my test I drove my dads car, a diesel 106, with no problems at all. I have size 15 feet and at the time wore 'DC' skate-type shoes which are very wide and chunky!

 

Maybe as it was the first car I drove regularly I just thought it was the norm!

Similar, my 2 cars befor ethe 205 were a saxo and a 106, size 12s in skate shoes were fine. Just had to learn the technique of pushing the accelerator by having your foot on the pedal and wheelarch and rotating it onto the pedal.

Because we all know that half an inch makes the difference!

It's not half an inch. Shoe sizes go up 1/3 of an inch at a time so half a size would equate to 1/6 of an inch.

 

And that's the end of todays lesson

I have a pair of Cat boots which have a pretty big heel, driving in those is an experience, accidentally wheel spinning etc - making yourself look like a twat by accident.
