Sorry for the late response, I believe it is the 8v Tom, my power comes on at about the same time as yours and it does really move along quickly but as yours 3rd is has really nice pull from around 20-70, I think your right about the ecu though it does seem to hold back thinking hmm let me check this this and this yeah that's fine this is the amount of power you can have at this altitude temperature etc etc, silverzx I can't say I've any complaint about the build quality particularly mines got the carbon interior and the leathers are like a bucket seat compromise to be honest, road noise I do agree is a tad high but I'm putting that down to the low profile tyres and sport suspension I've drove the equivalent c3 and the ride and noise was much better, I've got the 1.6 atm as a courtesy car and it goes but you have to absolutely ring it's neck the derv picks up much better and is much more refined imho, as poodle has said the steering and visibility is pretty much across the board now although in the later cars the steering does get much heavier the faster you go and it really does inspire confidence in the twisties, I've had Kent gripping on for dear life he couldn't believe how well it holds the road
