suspended, hinged ones are always really long and i seem to push them accidentally (pulling the seat fowards -> crumpling the carpet against it -> WOT )

Suspended.

My choice is hinged at the floor. For me, they seem easier to use and these types usually have a larger pedal. (I like big brake and accelerator pedals.)
Of my 3 cars, one has the suspended type and the other two have the hinged at the floor, so I can compare.

I am also curious as to which of those two types cost more to build. It looks to me like the suspended type costs less since the hinged type is two pieces.

If it's any ication usually premium cars use the hinged type and economy cars the suspended.
At least the ones I've seen that is.

Yeah, I thought so, too. I wonder if cost is a factor?
