Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature is a frequent point of difference, as what one occupant finds pleasant can feel too warm or too cool to someone sitting beside them, partly because clothing, sun position and personal preference all vary.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before setting off with passengers, it is worth checking where the essentials sit, including mirrors, lights, demisting and the horn. Learning this while parked means fewer unfamiliar moments once the journey and conversation are under way.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged is its own need, separate from music or calls. If a power source is available on board, a passenger can top up a navigating handset during the drive rather than afterwards.
