Comfort and Convenience
Seating preference is personal. Two people of similar height can want quite different distances from the wheel or angles of backrest, so cabin comfort is usually judged individually rather than by any single general rule.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before setting off, it is worth taking a moment to locate the essentials: lights, wipers, mirrors and demisting. Preparation of that kind keeps small adjustments from becoming distractions once the journey is already under way.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Charging a phone is a separate need from taking calls or playing music. Where a charging point is available, it matters most on long days out, when navigation apps drain a battery faster than expected.
