I never left foot brake in an Auto, right foot only  .

Yep,me too with the exception of parking

[Andy B]

.....
Yep doing that all the time  Have to look down at feet to make sure they are on the right pedals when setting off    ....

Same as on the few occasions I drive my daughter's Fiat Siecento

Strangely, if I'm on a mission, right foot braking only. I seem to have more control that way. But I'd be a liar if I said my left foot was never used on the stop button.

I agree that you're more planted in the seat if your left foot is up against the foot rest ...... where arguably it should be

don't get me wrong, auto is definitely a retrograde step, but there are reasons for this conversion

[Vamps]

The gas and brake pedal are too close together so .....

Are they any closer tan any other car ...... manual or auto? 

(not that I can brake with my left foot)

Practice makes perfect. 
Use your right foot to brake and just follow with your left ..... you soon get the hang of it 

Have you driven a 106 , pedals are designed for very girly small feet in high heels 

You have never driven a real Mini, a Mans car; kids today ..............

Usually when I hire a Villa in Portugal or Greece you get some little FWD box like a 106, often I go for the clutch pedal and because my feet are so big, i clip the brake some times.

Usually to the annoyance and surprise of MrsT, not to mention myself!   

Are you subtly trying to tell us something there Mark
