    The pedals dont seem right for heeltoeing it though. Like the accelerator at rest is too far down than the brake pedal at rest. Or is this just my car

    If you're really on the brakes (like at the track) the position is good for heel-toe, but not so much for daily driving.

    I have somehow gotten used to it for daily driving; I like to practice it as getting used to revs etc takes a bit of time/practice for me. Guess I must be one of them slower ones...

    Any car will do the same thing... just add a fair bit of heat to your A/C according to outside temperature and that'll stop the fogging inside and out.

    I find the pedals in a really nice position for H/T'ing, but i think something like this is very dependant on the driver, their shoes, and what they are used to. When pushing it definately feels more natural than cruising... but when crusing there really shouldnt be a need for H/T

    Mate, i agree with you. I can heel and toe in the polo much better than my old car, even with only moderate braking pressure. But as you say, depends on shoes and foot size etc...
