The tC isn't really a sports car. Not a very powerful engine and very heavy. I think the tC is more luxury/sport than a "sports car". And technically, the tC is a domestic. How can it be considered an import when it is only sold in the US. Yes, you can say it is "imported" from Japan, but so are a lot of vehicles classified as "domestics". And not all imports have close pedals. I have driven some "imports" that have a very wide petal placement.

Anyway...
I have one pair of shoes that I can't wear in my car because there isn't enough room between the center console and the brake pedal. It only took me wearing them once to figure that out. All of my other shoes work with it though. I like having the pedals close because then, I can run all three pedals at the same time. It is very nice for going through corners quickly.

 

hmm, i wear size 11 shoes and have never clipped the brake once, but i do say that the psosition is very good for canyon runs cuz i can brake in fast and hit the gas in a millisecond cuz i do toe heel thing.

 

In all seriousness, to the person that started this thread, maybe you need to just get some nice thin driving shoes?

 

Or go barefoot...

I wear 10.5's myself... the gap was fine... I even wear boots sometimes.

The only time it ever got close was after i put on aftermarket pedals (Razo GT Spec). The gas and brake were almost touching... I had to reseat the brake pedal to the left a bit cuz it made me uncomfortable.

 

I drive without shoes on

 

The gas pedal on this car is freaking small. But you get used to it.

Then again, I'm a size 10.5, so if you're wearing a 14 you might have some long-term issues with it.

 

I wear size 13 vans and I have no trouble with the auto pedals.
