Welcome, Orca. What part of the country are you in?
My parents had a Corolla and I recall the throttle being very touchy as well. The XR being the 'sporty' Matrix, I wonder if it's even worse. Eventually you get used to it. I suspect it's an electronic throttle, so one way to smooth it out might be to add a capacitor in line, but honestly I probably wouldn't mess with it.
Oh also add to your list: block heater, if it doesn't have one (and you have access to a plug).
