Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a common preference: some people want to sit high for a clear view of the road, others lower and more reclined. Body proportions and habitual posture explain much of that difference.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Knowing where the lights, wipers and demister controls sit before setting off means less searching later, when attention belongs on the road. A few minutes parked is usually enough to locate them.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged during longer journeys matters to many drivers, and it is worth checking which charging options a particular car offers. Calls and music are separate needs, each with its own preferences.
