No swirls flaps or DPF. Probably smoother than the later engines. Not lacking in power though for most situations. I use mine for towing a BIG caravan (1.85t) with no problems at all.
The splined sleeve issue in the bevel gear only applies to MY2003/2004 and most (if not all) have been fixed by now.
The 2005 163hp is at a sweet spot!
^^^^^^^^^^ that!
