Hey i have been reading around here about preparing for winter, (unfortuantely i rust proofed my car and i am also leasing so i guess it's a waste) and i noticed ppl saying that the gas pedal is very sensitive, but mine isn't, in fact there is a little slack before the engine starts revving so i wonder if this a all is normal cause if not i'll go get that fixed right away.

And another thing, this actually my first standard car and also my first car and i noticed if i am at about 1000 RPM (stuck in traffic and still trying to stay in second) the car hops a little bit, but my g/f Jetta runs very smoothly, i am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or am i the only one?
 
Yeah, unfortunately, the hopping you experience is something these cars do. We've discussed it here a few times, some guys tried different motor mounts with limited sucess. Part of the problem is the way the ECU is programmed.
