I suspect even with this, you won't get that lovely whine when accelerating to overtake or zipping off a slip road on to the motorway. But hey ho, I'm getting used to mine and actually prefer it at idle and when first crank it up. My only niggle is that I seem to get more vibration than old 981 which results in some annoying jingles and rattles, particularly from the roof mechanism near back window somewhere I can't identify.
