    I used to drive at least 3 different vehicles a day all were different one even had indicators on other side to the others

    You just had to get used to them or be out of a job.. Never thought anything of it.

    Have owned 41 different vehicles so well past worrying about trivialities like height of pedals

    Don’t get me wrong. It doesn’t worry me.
    Just thought I’d share my Mrs has a similar issue with the pedal placement similar to the OP

    Fully agree

    The VW brake pedal just seems off in its placement

    Unfortunately VW fanbois just can't admit when the car has a design flaw

    Ha ha seems you are the only one who is worried .

    Never even occured to me to think about it as it seems fine to me as I like to sit with the seat fairly high.

    Doesnt seem strange or anything

    Just use the tools you get and not worry or be more careful when doing the test drive.

    Oh, but everyone else is wrong and I am right! Must be a design flaw and they should fix it!Brake Pedal too far forward - anyone else have this issue ?

    If you read 4/5 of my posts, you’ll see I’ve fast become an anti vw advocate. It still doesn’t change my opinion regarding the brake pedal being normal enough.

    Apologies, I must lodge a formal complaint with VW to fix it now though
