They're pretty bland to sit in, I'm sure they're nice enough to drive but at c. £30 sticker they're bonkers money imo

Silent at lowish speeds and like an electric wooooshing noise when giving it some beans. Not noticeable when cruising along though.
Not sure which engine Ana's has but I think it's the 1.4 TFSI standard VAG lump. Your last point is also something I considered but then wind noise is still noticeable on rubbish cars...soooo...
My thoughts exactly. 20k and you would be more reasonable. But 30k is crazy.
No pics but saw and heard a lovely old TVR V8s (I'm lead to believe ) the yesterday, nice grumble on it 
Today an annoying one tho, on the way to work, going down so on the less driven roads to try and cut out traffic and lights.... There was someone's vw golf parked up in the middle of the road. Looked like they came out of the junction, drove 5ft while turning and then left it there. Thought someone was blocking as there had been an accident but nope.... Just someone left their car there. Luckily there was just enough space to drive around the back of the car to get past. Right pain as it's near a school so any available curb had a car parked next to it.

A friend popped round with a Tesla yesterday so I managed a few shots:

Does the Tesla's charging cable lock in place or can it be removed by an undesirable?

There's an option I think. One option is that if the car is fully charged then anyone can remove it. Another is that it's lock all the time, and the other being it is always unlocked.
That is IIRC

It would be a PITA to find after a day at work you couldn't drive straight home because a YouTube "prankster" had left it unhooked.

What annoys me is why they don't do coiled cables like on a lot of the earlier cars. My Smart ED had a coiled cable so it didn't sit in a pile on the floor like that one!

Possibly heat related? Might be. Never thought to ask.
Surprised they're not lockable to be honest.

I had the misfortune of seeing an orange convertible Evoque yesterday with the roof down, yuck
I'm guessing the occupants were as orange as the paintwork?
