Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is personal. Some drivers want to sit high for a clear view over the bonnet during tight parking; others prefer to sit low. Body proportions and route habits pull the preference in different directions.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Learning where the essentials live is worth doing while parked, not in traffic. Hazard lights, demisting and the horn are the ones people reach for suddenly, and a few calm minutes beforehand removes the guesswork.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Battery level decides how useful a phone is by the end of an errand round. If a charging point is available and reachable from the driver's seat, a navigating phone can top up between stops.
