Agreed on the accelerator. It's drive-by-wire, so obviously it's just an electric actuator rather than a cabled-up traditional accel pedal. But still, they could have put some effort into engineering the thing to feel more traditional. As it is now, it's so light that it makes it hard to make fine adjustmnents at times.
On the same topic, the other thing I dislike about our accelerator pedal is that it's too "digital". If you play with it in neutral at a stop, you'll notice it's not at all smooth like a real pedal. Mechanically it feels smooth, but in terms of its effect on the engine, it adjusts in little notchy steps.
In effect it's like having a 32-way throttle switch (I don't know exactly how many settings there are, 32 is a random-ish guess). You get these 32 throttle settings and that's it, nothing in-between.
