One suggestion I have is to not have your foot on the pedal at stop lights.
The pedal is meant to be depressed only for that instant when you are
changing gears. Use neutral and the brake pedal. Saves lots of wear and
tear on lots of parts.
Second, is this a recent change in feel? Or is this the way it's been
since you've owned the car?
