Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating height varies widely: some drivers like sitting high for a clear view over the bonnet, others prefer to sit low and close to the wheel. Body proportions and long-standing habits explain much of the difference.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Wipers, lights, demisting and hazard switches are easier to find when they have been located once while parked. A short look around the cabin before setting off means less hunting for a switch mid-journey.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged during errands is its own need, separate from calls or music. Where a socket or cable is available, a short trip may only partly replenish a battery, which matters if navigation runs throughout.
