I don't have any problem with any of the pedal positions on my '05. Left foot braking is not easy if you haven't been doing it a lot, I don't care what you drive.
If you're moving your leg over to LFB, you're doomed to failure. You position your foot just over (but not riding) the brake as the standard position, and move it to the LEFT when you need to shift. Don't forget to move it over before you stab the clutch.
