Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is personal: height, leg length and long-standing habit lead one person to sit upright and close, another further back. Two drivers sharing a car rarely settle on the same arrangement.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A few stationary minutes at the start of a trip are a sensible time to locate the lights, wipers, demister and hazard switch. Anything learned while parked is not being worked out mid-journey.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone battery is the usual weak point across a long day, since navigation runs continuously. Whatever charging provision a car offers, carrying a cable that suits it keeps the handset usable on arrival.
