Default Just got my Focus ST 2013 and have some questions

Just got my Focus ST 2013 delivered from Melbourne and got it all registered today and its really nice, just a few little things I'm wanting to find out or get more info. Before this car I owned a Mazda 3 2010 Luxury 2010 and loved it, it was just getting on a bit in Ks and years and the Focus ST seemed like a good next step and so far, im glad I did.

1. Compared to my MPS the Focus is quicker in 1st and 2nd but seems to lack power in the mid range. I think the turbo was a lot better in my MPS, as 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th you felt the boost kick in way more. So would a custom tune or Dyno tune fix this issue, or improve the boost more in the mid range without changing any parts? I called a couple of places and a couple said they can dyno tune it and another said they have to unlock the ECU and you need to buy a licence and it opens up more things, but they didn't explain it properly. Anyone know the differences between the 2? A dynamic I got quoted $1000 and the other method with licence would cost about $1700.

2. My bonnet seems to have like a 3cm gap when it closes and hard to close also, is this normal?

3. I have pretty stocky legs and its so hard to get comfortable in these seats. In my MPS it had it had tilt seats, where the part your bum sits on, could tilt forwards or back to adjust the angle, there wouldnt be a way to do this in the ST would there?

4. Anyway for the car to autolock itself maybe by a secret setting at the dealer or something? So when you hop out of the car and take the keys out the car would lock itself.

Any info about these would be appreciated, thanks.
