Anyone else think our pedals are too close together?/

I wear a 12, no problems. I suggest you try different shoes.
My datsun's pedals are actually way closer together than the Honda, much easier heel/toe action.

don't remember the model #, but u should get the blue razo pedels ... I have them on my car and u can see them in my ride. There is an attachment where you can adjust the gas pedal to be closer to the brake ... and there's 3 settings u can have it at. ;P

everyone else: I drive with no shoes ... I hate driving with shoes. In fact, I don't even wear shoes .. I hate them. try drivin without shoes if your feet are too big ;P

They're not too close together, they're too far apart. When I put the new pedal covers on, I offset the gas and the brake so they moved closer together.

I agree...... one of the 1st things I did on my car was put in a no name brand gas pedal cover. I have small feet so I felt it was almost madatory.

In some cars the pedals are so close that you dont have to use the heel, just slide the right foot over and it will cover up the gas pedal enough to get good heel and toe.
