Cali T6.1 drivers left foot rest.

[HugoFar]

For those Cali 6.1 drivers in the UK, Australia or NZ, that are right hand drive, how is the lack of any drivers left foot rest going? When the 6.1 first came out there was some concern and reports of discomfort for (esp) taller drivers from not having any support for their left foot. Has this carried on or have people adapted? Is it still considered a problem? The T5 and T6 both had really good, solid drivers left foot rests that were comfortable even on really long days driving.

I have adjusted by driving with my left foot flat on the floor; it's more than the footrest it's very cramped on that side.

I don't really think about it anymore. Especially with ACC on, which is a lot of the time.

I'd completely forgotten there is no left foot rest until I saw this thread. I don't find it any concern after nearly 14000miles...

Agree with this - was odd at first but not just have the ACC on and sit in the seat like an armchair with feet on the floor. Honestly feels more comfy now. I did see a thread where some on a T6 forum had jury rigged one in but IMHO it looked awful and dangerous.

T6.1 DSG Footrest - solution

The lack of a footrest in the T6.1 is an issue for me as it causes an issue in my left knee to be exacerbated and proven on my 3500 mile trip to/around/back from Europe. I've seen lots of comments on how you adapted after 20 mins or a day etc so this thread isn't for you. I scoured ebay and...
