Maybe I have to get my gas pedal mechanism straightened out somewhere. I have
plenty of room for my left leg (left hand drive car), and can get it
comfortable, but my right leg is always bent awkwardly - usually the knee
touches the tunnel, the heel is in the middle of the floor, and the toe runs the
gas. The A is also a much noisier car than the B, but then the B has overdrive.
Like I said, I like them both. I like the A's performance, and the B's comfort.
