Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is personal: height, arm length and habit all shape where someone wants to sit relative to the wheel and pedals. Two people sharing a car often settle on noticeably different compromises for the same short trip.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A few minutes spent stationary, locating the hazard switch, the mirror and lighting controls and the horn, means nothing has to be hunted for later. Preparation of that kind is simplest in a borrowed or recently bought car.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Navigation apps drain a phone quickly, so a day of errands often hinges on keeping it powered. Where a suitable charging point is available, that is a separate matter from how calls or audio reach the speakers.
