I find the newer cars with the drive by wire tend to be a lot more sensitive to your foot than the old cable op jobs. On my car (07 civic) the pedal has almost no tension or resistance on it so it makes it harder to find a foot position and keep it there. That and I think they program the cars to be very sensitive to make you feel like the car has a lot of pep when driving around town. Mine has the cruise button on the steering spoke right by my thumb so I use the cruise button all the time around town.
