Accelerator pedal located too close to hump - Toyota Yaris Forums

breyers · 06-08-2007, 09:04 PM

Anyone else having the problem of the accelerator pedal in a bad and uncomfortable position? If so, what was done??? TKS.

Or just get a right-hand-drive model.. :P

brickhardmeat · 06-08-2007, 09:44 PM

yeah, hatchbacks kick sedans's ass

I don't notice any problem with the pedal location in my hatchback.

Look into the "big foot" mod in the DIY section, maybe you can come up with a similar solution?

I thought about that a few times. Several of our local mail carriers have the right-hand-drive Subarus and Jeeps. It would be neat to have a Yaris in that configuration.

i have that problem in my hatchback to the point now that there a hole in the carpet. So i'm thinking of getting some type of rubber mat and glue over that hump so it doesn't get worst come winter.

Get some aftermarket pedals which will reposition your pedals to the way you want it. I have mine setup so heel and toe is easy.

miniboon · 06-10-2007, 08:27 PM

i dont have any problems in the sedan

mikeukrainetz · 06-11-2007, 07:23 PM

i dont like the possition of the gas in my hatch either, I think the carpet on the hump is wearing already.

twixt · 06-11-2007, 08:39 PM

dude the hatch sucks too, my ankle/calf cramp all the time because of the position. maybe its my shoe size of 14?

mojoyaris · 06-12-2007, 02:40 AM

Well, the car is a Japanese car.

Katana · 06-18-2007, 08:08 AM
