Default Heel and toe driving

hi everyone, just bought myself a mazda6 2.0 TS (yes im from europe). This is my first post. Anyways im wondering do any of you heel and toe in your mazda6? im finding the peddle positions a bit awkward to do it and was wondering if there was some way for me to adjust the peddles? Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you

the answere would be
if you cannot take the pedals out and move them you could get some of the aftermarket pedal sets and place them a bit closer together.

or you could heat up your pedals a bit with a torch and bend them closer.
but make sure you weld on some more metal to keep the safty level high and not break off the pedals

try out a few things and tell us how it works out

or better yet, just drive normally... there is no need to heel toe IMO.

Heel and toe is neat and good for the transmission and clutch, but you need well positioned pedals. It is a dying art as less and less cars are available with manual shift especially in North America. So car makers don't pay too much attention in the design of the pedals.
