Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating position varies with height, arm length and how someone likes to hold the wheel. Two people of similar build often settle differently, which is why the first minutes in a car are often spent adjusting.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Checking where the essential controls sit before setting off is a small piece of preparation. Hazard lights, demisting and headlight switches are worth locating while stationary rather than during a journey.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone that arrives with a low battery needs charging, and that is separate from playing music or handling calls. Where a charging point is available, its position decides whether the cable stays out of the way.
