Is it me or does anybody else feel that the emergency brake pedal is in an uncomfortable position. It tends to hit me in the shin and it looks like it could do serious damage to your leg in an accident. Just wondering what others think. Thanks.
Screamin' ???

I dunno, I never really noticed it to be a problem. I mean, I know it's there 'cause I can see it, but it's never been in my way.

You are right. It is in a bad position. It makes it difficult to fully extend ones left leg into the top left foot well area. I am 6ft 2in. I suspect short people will not take note. :6:

Hmmmmm...I have often wondered what that third pedal is for...NOW I KNOW....it was too far to the left to be a clutch pedal, and besides I have an automatic. >:D
Seriously, I can't see of too many places where it could be relocated. :0:
They probably put a rubber pad on the pedat so if it hit you it wouldn't hurt as much...What do you think? ;D
