Pedals Pedals Pedals!

The first thing that I noticed when I took the 3 for a test drive is that my foot automatically pressed on both pedals at the same time. I found it slightly odd but I paid it no mind. It took about 5 mins to adjust to it.
 
Eveyone mentions it on online reviews..for those of you that have had the car for a while, is it ever an issue? Hopefully it only takes a little while to adjust to it and then its not a problem anymore. Let me know what u think! Is there any way to fix it?

i feel that there is plenty of room to keep from stepping on gas/brake at the same time or brake/clutch at the same time.  ive never had an issue with this.

No issues here.

Not a problem here. U most have fat shoes

I have heard this complaint before, but I wear size 12's and have no issue at all.  In fact, I like that the pedals are placed as they are.  I've even installed "pedals" w/a wider base on the throttle to bring it in closer.  So easy......  Much easier to heel/toe that way.
 

i am a size 12 and never have i had a problem with my pedals... however with saying that i have got my foot stuck between the clutch pedal and the floor mat.

Size 14 not a problem...

my feet get stuck below the pedals when wearing boots only.. otherwise i have noooo problems

and because its winter we will be wearing boots alot. and actually now that you mention it i wore boots once in my car and i got my foot stuck underneath my pedal.. plus its very uncomfertable wearing boots while driving this car i find.

i just learned something new last night. i was sitting in my car warming it up and i starting thinkin bout this thread. not only are the pedals far from each other, the gas pedal is closer to the floor than the brake pedal. i think thats a subtle, but a good idea seeing that some people do mash their pedals and when they mean to brake, they gas it, causing  accidents (yes it happens). placing the gas and brake pedals at different angles and distance from the floor, it helps prevent catastrophes like that.
 
and another thing, which may not really be something done on purpose, is that to apply the brakes you need to apply more pressure. more that the gas pedals. this allows you to know which one your pressing, or about to press.
