Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is personal. Height, leg length and back shape mean two people rarely settle on the same angle or the same distance from the wheel, so a shared car is worth resetting before a long stint.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Time spent before departure locating the hazard lights, the demister and the headlight switch counts as preparation, not fuss. Unfamiliar layouts are hardest to learn precisely when weather or traffic is already demanding attention.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Charging deserves its own plan on a long drive, since running navigation drains a phone steadily. If a suitable cable and a working socket are packed, the phone is still usable on arrival rather than at the first stop.
