Linkage could be to blame for the gear change.
You sure it's not in your head that's his motor is quicker?

No idea why one would feel faster. Yours running right/serviced recently.
As for the gears is your biting point on the clutch really low to the floor. If so adjust the cable to bring it up a bit (easy job) As mine used to adjust its self gradually to the floor all the time and would make gear selection more difficult as they wernt fully disengaging

Most likely due to them experiencing a different Running In Procedure and levels of Servicing or the like TBH.

Found this old school pic in my garage of my 1.2
The nut you adjust is the one on the end of the arm coming from under the plastic bag/cover thing
Get someone in the car to work the clutch pedal and you will see it moving as its at the end of the cable
