My only gripe

What's up with the driver's foot rest? When I push in the clutch my left foot rubs against the foot rest causing the clutch to engage less than smoothly sometimes. I can't move it over much because it is hitting my right foot that is on the brake. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix? Other than that the car is incredible!

Well went back out to look at it & noticed the carpet was pulled from behind the kick panel. I put it back, tried the clutch & the carpet came back out. Getting it looked at tomorrow.
pics soon

I simply amputated the left and right sides of my left foot. Now I don't hit the brake or the foot rest!

Not willing to go to that extreme. Went back out - it quit raining, & looked at it again. A misplaced wiring harness was causing the foot rest to be pushed toward the clutch pedal. Took off the lower kick panel & wrestled the harness back into place. Problem solved.
So in summary, I have no gripes!

Unfortunately I have read about this complaint since the introduction of the R56 over a year and a half ago. Anyway your dealer should be able to refit the carpet with no further issues.

Mine is automatic so my left foot gets to spend 100% on the time on the footrest
