I'm not really too sure how to describe it. From what I've seen, it seems to be mostly VW. Sometimes Audi. I'm assuming it's caused by DSG or similar. Everywhere I go these days I seem to have German cars farting at me.
What causes this? And does anyone actually like this? It's not exactly a nice crackle/bang after coming off the power.

Thought it was cause they chucked a bit more fuel during gear changes. I think it stupid.
Then again computers are good at boring and repetitive tasks, so hopefully it's a button or menu option to turn it off

Timing/spark cut when shifting, safer then the old fuel cut shifting options.
Some play it safe on the merry-go-round, others go for the thrills of the roller-coaster.

I had it on my Scirocco and now my TT does it too. I like it
When you upshift over about 5000rpm a valve opens in the exhaust and you get a pop.

AMG 45 Mercs do it too. I think it sounds better inside the car
