was your car released on the 3rd January 2007 (lower Co2)
or are you american in which case
your car was released on the 1st March 2007 ( Higher Co2)
Cars prior to 1st March had the old software
cars after 1st March have had the upgrade
One of the main changes is the way the newer cars use the gears
For example the older cars could be in 6th gear by the time they were doing 40mph (more or less)
and the newer model only slips into sixth gear when nearing 60mph
(more or less) the actual changes are slightly smoother also
you need to know your stuff to notice the changes
