Berlingo brake pedal - sumpnut
Citroen Berlingo Multispace 1.6 HDI 92BHP has the worst control pedal of any car I have driven. At rest the brake is level with the accelerator, which has a thick plastic operating arm which is offset towards the brake. The result is unintentional opening of the thottle when braking, which I think is dangerous at worst and off putting at best. In all the road tests I have read no tester has comented on this problem, or is it my size 8 feet.

Berlingo brake pedal - David Horn
It's nothing compared to the appalling pedal layout of the Citroen Relay (actually a rebadged Fiat if the dash-that-a-2-year-old-designed is anything to go by), where the brake pedal was so close to the accelerator you ended up revving the nuts off it every time you changed down while braking or just driving in general.

I much prefer the newer Transits. Faster, too.
