I have a 1.2 dynamic .My wife is having problems with aching right foot even on relativley short journeys.I have noticed that the pedal is rather higher on the Panda than it is on our Zafira.Does anybody else have issues with this or know of any remedy
 
we thought the same - a flippant answer would be drive it with foot to the floor then you don't notice but although I don't get to drive it much I have got used to it and it's stopped being a problem but I do notice it sometimes and just move my leg back a bit to adjust the angle. We are both short and have the seat far forward and that might be a factor too.
 
Yep I had the same coming from a Vectra. The aching stopped after a couple of weeks so I didn't have to do anything although putting the seat back seemed to help.
Mind you, when I first got the Vectra the heavy return spring on the throttle gave me an ache...
 
Funny how different cars fit different people. The one brand I dislike is Vauxhall - simply because the clutches in every one I have ever driven has been far too high and springy. Hard work in traffic.
 
I'm a shortie and I did find it a problem, particually motorway driving. It probably depends on if you use your whole foot or just your toes on the pedal when driving.
