Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal preference: seat height, distance from the wheel and backrest angle suit different bodies differently. What one driver settles on rarely suits the next, so it is worth adjusting deliberately before setting off.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Knowing where the lights, wipers, demister and hazard switch sit means finding them without looking away from the road. A few minutes spent locating them while parked is simpler than learning them in moving traffic.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone battery is the common concern on a long drive, since navigation runs continuously. Where a charging point is available, a cable that fits the phone matters as much as the socket; calls and music are separate questions.
