#1: Footwell Author: llewroberts, Location: ManchesterPosted: Wed Mar 16, 2011 5:57 pm ---- Is it just my car or is it normal for the steering linkages to be out in the open, not covered in the footwell? just though it was a bit wierd as I had my foot on the clutch and I could feel the steering column on my foot while turning...
#2: Re: Footwell Author: Ste, Location: Hull -or- The World Of Info CodePosted: Wed Mar 16, 2011 5:59 pm ---- It's normal
#3: Re: Footwell Author: Pugsy, Location: Stoke On Trent, StaffordshirePosted: Wed Mar 16, 2011 6:04 pm ---- like ste said its normal i feel the steering column on my foot regularly, but think thats purely cuz i've got my seat slightly too close to the wheel
I am only 5ft 5 though so its hard to find the right place lol
#4: Re: Footwell Author: llewroberts, Location: ManchesterPosted: Wed Mar 16, 2011 6:04 pm ---- Feels wierd lol! thought I'd bought a dodgy pug for a sec! Phew
#5: Re: Footwell Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Mar 16, 2011 6:05 pm ---- Don't have your foot so high on the clutch or get smaller feet.
#6: Re: Footwell Author: Ste, Location: Hull -or- The World Of Info CodePosted: Wed Mar 16, 2011 6:06 pm ---- lol nope it's perfectly normal haha, just adjust the way you use the clutch, use more of the front area of your foot, feels wierd but once your used to it you wont notice, it's better than using the clutch as your starting to move the wheel and your foot slipping off
Took me about a month to get a comfy position with the 206 clutch lol

12's for me and i wear skater trainers /shoes? and they are wide things lol
#9: Re: Footwell Author: myke, Location: United KingdomPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 2:11 am ---- Lol size 11 too, I take a pot of shoe polish in my boot because it rubs the polish off lol, I use the front of my foot but my shoes are kinda pointy so they still get caught sometimes, first time it happened i was like wtf is my car broke ?!?!
#10: Re: Footwell Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 3:39 am ---- it sucks even more when you are 6ft7 and have size 13 feet lol, i have to drive in my work shoes because I have no chance in size 13 DC's or VANS lol,
there have been some REAL sketchy moments when my shoes got caught in the steering column and the wheels gone REAL hard to turn! (i almost crashed lol)
and yes the seat is all the way back and as far down as it will go. I also hate the fact the pedals are so close together in a 206, ive never driven a car where they are so close! even the micra and fiesta have about double the distance between them, stupid design flaw IMO.
but meh lol
EDIT: also my head is so close to the roof that
A) ive never used my sunshield. I remember i was driving in the sun once and my driving instructor tried to be helpful and put it down for me and i was suddenly driving blind lol.
and B) when its rains the wipers only clear half the screen for me (because they didnt swap wiping sides for the UK). I have to crouch down to see through the clear bit in the screen lol.

#12: Re: Footwell Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 11:11 am ---- I'm 5.9 and I've got size 13 DC's, you know what they say about people with big feet
Big socks
#13: Re: Footwell Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 11:16 am ---- i cant possibly drive in my 13 DC's, how do you manage it?
#14: Re: Footwell Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 11:20 am ---- Lay down lol, none of my friends ever want to sit behind me because I'm pretty much lying down when I drive lol. Oh and have the seat really far back
#15: Re: Footwell Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 1:53 pm ----

#17: Re: Footwell Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 3:28 pm ---- I just want the handbrake to be in the center instead of the left
Love how this has just turned out to be people naming their shoe size.

#21: Re: Footwell Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 4:20 pm ---- 206 pedals were designed for small people - Women! Peugeot designed it for the target buyer. That's why women tend not to moan about the driving position.
The pedals are also perfectly spaced for heal and toeing on downshifts.
