I have A Kia Stonic Automatic and have found for the Brake Pad Cover is not large enough as my foot only reaches the outside tip and nearly slides off. Is it possible to purchase where a larger brake pad cover to avoid this happening. If so where can i buy one and will it be easy to fit. Thank You

    What's the issue with putting your whole right foot on the brake pedal? Being an auto I would have thought the brake pedal
    would be fairly wide.

    There maybe a better option depending on the issue, is it more of a seating issue than the pedal itself?

    Surely you mean brake-pedal not brake-pad?

    Sounds like you need to move right foot onto brake pedal. Not just pivot heal to reach.

    Bigger one might lead to foot being on both at once.

    Unless you have a disability, I think you simply need to move your foot more.

    I have a Kia Stonic auto.

    The brake pedal is plenty big enough.

    Surely you discovered this on the test drive before buying the car?

    Why buy it, and not something you CAN drive safely?
