Never had a car that pops and bangs and it's not remotely high on my list of desirable features ..... as a consequence of the nature of a sporty car being used hard through a mountain pass then it's fine by me .... as a fashion item on a hatch full of chavs round and round a housing estate keeping everyone awake in the early hours then, nope .... like most things, there's a time and a place.
