Comfort and Convenience
Preferred distance from the steering wheel is personal: torso length, arm reach and how upright someone likes to sit all differ, so a position one driver calls natural can feel cramped or stretched to another.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Time spent locating wipers, lights and demisting controls while parked means later adjustments happen without hunting. Preparation is simply about knowing the routine in advance, so fewer glances are spent searching the cabin.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged on longer trips is a separate need from playing music or taking calls. If a socket or charging point is available, it handles power only; audio and hands-free calling depend on whatever connection the system supports.
