In your experience what cars have had the best set up for this - in standard form?

Often I get in cars and my smallish feet wont get across the two pedals...or the pedal height is too different etc.

(Out of interest I drove a new Fiat and Vaxhaul at the weekend and they both didnt have the ´´fourth pedal´´ the foot rest to the left side of the clutch.)

One shouldn't be heel and toeing on the public roads anyway!
I think you misunderstood


Some mothers do have em!


Anyway thanks for the replies - TVR, Porkers and BMWs get your vote so far

Yup, left footrest, lottery, as to it's provision.
Now, new cars, even if you find a model that seems to suit your feet with regard to this exotic method, drive it and try H&T.
It appears FBW accelerator pedals and engine management computers, on some, don't like your wanting brakes and revs.
I've discussed this on here and another Motoring forum.
I've not yet seen a reply from one who is responsible for design input or decisions on this.
Some might argue it's catering for the "standard driver".
Interesting observation - thanks

Obviously you can heel and toe in many cars.

So the list so far of cars so far that seem to have a partically good set up -fresh from the factory in your collect experience are -

BMWs many but not all E30 and E36
Porkers - Boxter gets a mention
Honda NSX
Nissan Primera 1998
Classic Mini
TVRs
