Why does the accelerator pedal on my Ford Ka sit so high?
I have just got my first car which happens to be a Ford Ka 2010. I've noticed that compared to the other cars I have been driving recently the accelerator seems to sit very high, so much so that if when resting my foot on it, my foot is angled as far back as possible to the point where I get shin/ankle pain almost immediately.
Is this normal and can anything be done to lower the position of the pedal?

It would seem you are not alone with this problem as there have been quite a few drivers unhappy with the pedal position. However we do not have a solution (and it would seem neither does Ford). You may want to find a local garage who may be able to offer a solution or fix. good-garage-guide.honestjohn.co.uk/

Easy to drive and economical. Handles better than Fiat 500. More room in rear than the Fiat.
