Car Accelerator Pedal

[Justintime]

Didn't like it at first, got accustomed to it in my 525D and enjoy it in my 320D now. Much prefer it to traditional style pedals.

Try one, pretty comfortable to use tbh. I can't heel and toe in the e46 though, probably more to do with the spacing though.

I find the e46 and e36 very easy to heel-toe in. I have probably developed a different technique though.

Much prefer them, although pretty much every car i have owned has had a floor hinged pedal so i guess i am used to them.

Yeah, same - even my Golf had one.

floor mounted pedal. good luck converting your corsa

They're also in the Tuscan which my boss let me have a go in on my birthday, very wierd feeling having the pivot at the bottom but you get used to it .

BTW i didnt get to drive it properly, was on private land and did a few circles (no, not doughnuts).

lol, i have driven loads of cars, owned a few with floor and top mounted pivots. Not once have I thought about it unti I read this thread.

I have only heel and toe(d?) in top mounted ones, as the floor mounted ones have all be auto

Can anyone heel+toe a mk3 mondeo? Seems impossible..

I managed it with my old ST220, I've never really gotten into doing that though, since I've spent most of the last 3 years driving automatics.

When heel-toeing (something I've never really considered doing) are people using the heel on the accelerator or on the brake? I assumed it was heel on the accelerator, for the longer pedals at least, but someone demonstrated some heel-toe action with the heel on the brake earlier and it made me wonder.

Technique varies depending on person and pedal box.

Usually it's the heel on the throttle, but I use the right side of my right foot in the 146. Pedals are really close.
