Left foot is a bit of a drag I admit but I assume that with the effort required to use the clutch that a 'gentle' rest on pedal is not too much of a problem..or on longer journeys I use the 'Automatic' position (tucked under)
Yes, I do the same. However, I like the idea that a mini-support for the left foot could be made to work.
I am 6'3" and I only just fit in the car but apart from the left foot issues I find the car suprisingly comfortable on long journeys.
Overall, the driving position is pretty damn good, I reckon.
