Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal preference. Some people like to sit high for a clear view of the road ahead, others lower and more enclosed; height, leg length and driving habits all pull in different directions.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before setting off, it is worth locating the lights, wipers, hazard switch and demister while still parked. Preparation of that kind belongs to unhurried moments rather than to the first time rain or dusk arrives mid-journey.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged on a long drive is a separate question from playing music through the car. Where a usable power source is available, navigation can run for hours without the battery emptying before arrival.
