This is new.
Personally I have the steering option on Standard, it's just right for me. I will say with my limited experiences with some cheaper cars (Honda Civics/Accords/CR-Vs), it is slightly heavier, but I don't find it a big deal.
I don't think the accelerator pedal is too heavy either... plus I wouldn't want it to be too light, or else I will probably have to change my tires every 10k miles or so from the acceleration, ha.
