Comfort and Convenience
How far back a driver prefers to sit is personal: height, arm length and the way someone likes to hold the wheel all pull the choice in different directions, so no single position suits everyone.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Learning where the wipers, lights and demister controls sit while parked means less hunting for them later, when attention belongs on the road. A few quiet minutes beforehand turn unfamiliar switches into routine movements.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone that starts an errand half-charged is the common worry, so knowing whether a cable or a wireless pad is available, and where it sits, tends to shape how the trip is planned.
