Manual owners How do you like the pedals?
Perhaps it’s just me but I find it quite awkward to heel-toe in a Mazda 5. The brake pedal is quite high even when fully depressed to blip the throttle. Their proximity is excellent but I can’t seem to reach and end up hitting the console.
Is the Mz5 throttle by wire? I seem to experience a slight delay in throttle response. I may need to adjust/clean the TB (haven’t done any maintenance since recent ownership).
And what is the deal with going cheap on the dead pedal. Mazda could have at least used some kind of durable rubber cover instead of leaving bare carpet. My shoes are not always the cleanest and I hate to think it only takes one incident of carrying/rubbing crap on the dead pedal.
Anyone here have aftermarket pedals? Pics would be great.
