Re: Heel toe downshifting ?'s

The WRX is not that difficult to heel and toe downshift on with the pedals in the stock position. The biggest issue with the WRX is that there is a lot of brake pedal travel which takes some getting used to. It is easier in the STi than the non-STi's, but it's prety easy throughout the entire Impreza line.

The most difficult cars I have driven to heel-toe downshift on with the pedals in their stock location is a 1991 Ford Probe GT I had, and a 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra R, two cars in which you would have thought the designers would have considered it.
