Default accelerator position

anyone find the go pedal a bit too small and too far away from the stop pedal?? I find it a bit hard to do heel-toe compare to the BMW I used to have...

The pedal positions seem ok, I just wish the footwell was a little deeper as I'm about 6'3" and need slightly more leg room.
I found the RX8 to be perfect for tall people, with easy heel / toe due to being able to extend my legs straighter.

I would say that the Zed has very good pedal position ... well, at least for me. I was very pleased with it 1st time I got into the car. It's just as good as an S2000, Boxster or an Elise.

For me, things are are just right ... that goes for the steering wheel, gear-shift as well as the pedals.

I agree with DavidM, I love the pedal positions though, very easy for me to do heel and toe. because if it is too close, it will even be harder to do heel and toe since your heel cannot touch the pedal anymore?

But if you seriously have the problem, you might want to buy a larger pedals for both brake and the gas to reduce the gap in between them?

cheers,
