Comfort and Convenience
Comfort preferences are personal: height, reach and the angle people like to sit at all differ, so two drivers can settle on quite different positions in the same car before either feels properly at home.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a few minutes with the basic controls before setting off is simple preparation. Locating lights, wipers, demist and hazard switches while parked means less improvising later, when conditions change and attention is needed elsewhere.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone use splits into separate needs. Charging keeps a device alive on longer trips; hands-free calling, where available, keeps conversation off the handset; and music playback is a third function again, each depending on how the car is equipped.
