When you let off the gas in low gears, that is engine braking; normal but much more noticable in low gears. 
 
As far as lunging forward when you jab the throttle, I like it. Try it at 40 - 45 in 2nd gear  :-)

the car kinda gives you resistence. Or if you are cruizing along at 45 mph
and you jab throttle, the car lunges forward. Well, with mine, the first
problem is REALLY bad, and the second thing hardly happens, feels like
something is loose.
