For all those on here that own a saxo of some sort.I am tempted to buy something quicker than the 1.2 16v corsa b i have just now but my main issue is being 6ft 3 and having size 12 feet.I know the pedals in saxos are quite close together in comparison to the likes of corsas etc and I realise it's a fairly randum question but is there anyone else with large feet who has a saxo and is it still possible and easy enough to drive them with the pedals being close because obviously it would still need to be practical and safe for me to use or there isn't much point  Would appreciate the help,cheers

That's a fair comment! How does it work with test drives? not that long passed my test and never been to a garage for a test drive.Do they require fully comp insurance on your own car before you're allowed or are you able to do so on TPFT?

I have a 106 and the pedals are close together its alrite with like trainers or shoes but for the likes of boots etc its a pain 
More to the point why you wanting to go from a corsa to a saxo

I'm 6ft 3 and have size 12 feet too and I had no issue with driving one (Phase 2 VTR). As long as you aren't wearing boots you should be fine

just need a pink drivers license in most cases.
some dealers like to be arsey about being 21+ etc but i don't think they would say that for a saxo tbh.

i'am 6ft 1 with size 11 feet and saxo and 106's are really bad IMO seat doesn't go back far enough and pedals are way too close especially the throttle
