In any event, the gas pedal resistance on the Yaris is too light when the geometry of access is considered. One is forced to almost stand on it instead of pressing it latterly which puts a strain on your foot and leg as you struggle to hold them in the required position. You are not only pressing the pedal but trying not to press it too hard at the same time.

Yes, you can get used to it for the most part but, if the seat was lower. etc or the spring was stronger, it would be more comfortable.

BTW, the fact that there is one spring inside the other suggests to me that someone was aware of the design problem and one more spring was added. However, it is still not enough IMO.
One can not make the spring as situated too strong in the plastic components ....a design flaw?
With a traditional cable throttle, the spring tension can be tailored for an individual car model at the throttle body by adjusting the spring size and geometry of the cable attachment at the pedal as well as at the throttle body.
