Never having owned a 993 I’m wondering this: the pedals are extremely close together to the extent that I can imagine the edge of your right shoe will often catch the footplate of the clutch pedal when you are lifting off the accelerator. Is this a problem people experience much? Do people find that adapt to the closeness of the pedals and soon forget about it?? _________________ 981 Boxster GTS

I preferred a tiptronic for that reason, not that I wear size 13s’ and my other car is an auto, however I did find the drivers footwell in the manual car tight. No doubt in time an owner will get used to it. _________________ 1995 Carrera in Guards Red

You must have REALLY wide feet if your right foot can touch the clutch pedal while on the accelerator
I find all Porsche pedal boxes quite small really, so tend to wear driving shoes or very narrow soled trainers for driving them, it helps with heal and toeing too _________________ 1998 996.1 C2 3.4 with "Aerokit Cup"

Perhaps the shoes I was wearing are a particularly wide fitting!? _________________ 981 Boxster GTS

I'm only size 10s but on a long journey I get leg ache not being able to stretch out my left leg, if I do it gets stuck behing the clutch pedal. So I removed some of the tunnel soundproofing and wear racing boots which have a narrow sole. it is a feature of the rhd cars, lhd don't have that problem and have a proper footrest. I presume the bulge in the tunnel is to accomodate the front diff on 4wd cars. _________________ Porsche 944 S2 Coupe Guards Red
