I've just brought a fiat seicento and found that the pedals seem to be too high as my feet are at an odd angle, which hurts them at the top making driving difficult. Perhaps its because i have small feet but i haven't had a problem driving other cars!
Has anyone else had this problem?
Is there anything i can do about this?

Pad your floormat up with something. A thick doormat or two might do the trick, and raise the effective floor under the pedals about 1-1/2 inches (3 cm.). Experiment.
___But you want something that won't be too squishy.
___Something that can dry out.
___Something that won't slide out of position.
___Something that won't curl up or bunch up.
___You might have to cut it to fit, so make sure you can do so.

If your feet don't fit the pedals properly, why in God's name did you buy the car?? I've had similar issues in the past and just didn't buy the car. If adjusting the seat doesn't help I really don't know what to tell you except to P-EX it for something else...

why didn't you test drive the car before you bought it?
The pedals arn't adjustable and the car has a rubbish ncap crash test rating of nearly splitting in half in a 40mph crash causing serious leg injuries. ditch the car.
If not, contact fiat who may move the pedals for you
heres a pic of one in a crash test.

I have one and have just posted a question about it!!!!
the pedals are at weird angles and are really close together!
i'm thinking of selling mine now after reading all this stuff about it.
I got mine from someone i know who bought a new car and i got a bargain.
:(

How did you not find this out before buying?
In future, always insist on a lengthy test drive of any vehicle you are considering purchasing, so that problems like this come to light.
