REX2LGT Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Whats goin on fellow LGT owners... heres my gripe... traded in my 02 WRX for the LGT... I wear a size 12-13 shoe.. I'm having a hard time not hitting the tops of my shoes on the ceiling that rests above the pedals.. and the distance between the brake and the gas.. .I find my self steping on both at times because of the lack of distance.... Anyone else experience that problem... I know its petty..but still wanted to check it out w/ some of you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-2.5-GT Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I know some people have had some problems with this. I think that you can take the pannel off which is just above your toes, and in fact i think some people have. Personally i have a size 12, usually wear steel toe docs to work, and i have no problem what so ever with any of these issues. lucky me i guess.

kanoswrx Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I sometimes have the same problem as you, I event tried to take off that plastic piece. The thing is, the OBDII plug is attached to it, so you would have to remount it somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Legacy Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I have that problem too. But I just adjust my clutch foot accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I wear size 14 to 14 1/2 and have no problems. The brake and gas are close but I've managed to adjust to it in my 10 days of ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REX2LGT Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 Thanks for the info fellas... I guess I'll just have to get used to it... I'm not a big fan of removing parts from cars that are supposed to be there for one reason or another... I'll just deal w/ it and adapt.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgeracer Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Try adjusting the height of the seat. That might help a bit and don't drive with too wide a shoe. "Gimme mines Balboa...Gimme mines".....Clubber Lang - Mr. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapimp Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I wear 13's and find it acceptable. I think it's actually because I keep my heel back pretty far from the pedal (which I find more comfortable). The only downside is when I wear wider-soled shoes. Then I sometimes used to snag the other pedal. Not as much now with the WRX pedals though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tie wrapped the OBD plug to another wire harness to get it out of the way. It is a poor design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fan42025 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I have slightly larger than normal feet and on a very few occassions I had the same problem, depening on the shoes I use. And it's an automatic! I got used to it. Still, I think there's definitely a design issue here otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion. I think we have to realise this is a smallish car. I compared the internal space with other "competing" cars before I bought the GT and I found it to be the "tightest" of the lot, back as well as front. I looked at BMW, Audi, Maxda, and Honda. However, I liked the size the GT - it's just right, although a few mm's extra all round would have been perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgeracer Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Funny....To me the Legacy feels bigger than my old 98 Accord "Gimme mines Balboa...Gimme mines".....Clubber Lang - Mr. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigmeda Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I have no problem shifting my foot to heel and toe in either direction in my maxima (heel on gas, toe on brake, or vice versa), but no-way with the legacy, it's probably easiset to just roll between pedals using the ball of my foot, something I prefer not to do however, since slipping off the brake is not fun entering a corner. If I ever got one I definitely would be removing panels. --sigmeda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan42025 Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 [quote name='Ridgeracer']Funny....To me the Legacy feels bigger than my old 98 Accord[/quote] That's right. In fact, even when I got my GT, I still thought it looked slightly larger or the same as the others - until I parked next to a BMW 330 and new Honda Accord. My GT then looked smaller. Not to worry, there's not much in it and I'm still smiling. Anyway, I'm now at the age where I'll be shrinking from now on so it will be the perfect size soon enough :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruFlamingo Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Yeah, I have 13s, was very annoying for the first week, but now thinking back I dont even think about it, meaning I have adjusted and its not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
