Hi all!
We took the old beastie out today for a test run, having just bought it a few days ago, and covered a bit over 90 miles of all different kinds of road.
My thoughts: it cruises well enough (for a 1.9td) but the accelerator pedal placement seems intent on crippling me round town. The clutch pedal is higher than I'd like but I think that can be adjusted lower, but the accelerator is *awful*. I just can't get my heel on the floor and my toe on the pedal; I have to hover over it until we're up to speed then rest the right side of my foot on the edge of the wheel arch, leaving my big toe resting on the pedal. It's painful! I can't be the only one, surely?
