Not just another looking for a "hatch" thread

[Lethalcleric]

Hello all

I am currently looking for a new small 3 door hatchback car, I currently have a 2002 (52) Corsa C and it has been a great first car and very reliable but now I am looking for something better. The twist with my "Looking for a" thread is that I specifically need one that has room on the left of the clutch to rest your foot, Currently in my Corsa there is room for my whole foot to rest by the side of it. I am really looking more towards the Ford Fiesta Zetec S/ST PRE titanium or something around that power range.

I have test driven a Fiesta ST and found that I had to move my foot in front of the clutch after releasing and this bends my leg upwards as I am a tall person (Around 6FT)and becomes uncomfortable and after the 10 minute drive my leg was hurting for a good 20 mins and I could not bend it because I had to keep my leg in such a position in front of the clutch. The seat position was not an issue but just the space between the pedal and the side of the bottom console.

Thank you for reading/replying.

Regards

Dale

I came from a corsa c aswell, and your right there is ample room beside the clutch as I do the same, you should never drive a saxo then haha, there is more room in a biscuit tin.


As for the car, if your unsure what to get, have a look round some dealerships, test drive a few, honest they wont mind.

On a secondary note, my Astra has the space to rest your foot aswell so maybe its a Vauxhall thing?

Thanks for the reply, I will be going to a few in a bit that are down the road to have a look about but from doing research it seems to be a thing for bigger 5 door cars and very few actually have the room on the left.

Small cars are less likely to have as much room in the foot well as bigger cars, pretty simple formula.


FYI - An S2000 has a foot rest next to the clutch
