Comfort and Convenience
Seating preferences differ because people differ: height, leg length and the way someone likes to sit all shape a preferred position. Two drivers sharing one car rarely settle on the same arrangement.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a moment with the controls before setting off is simple preparation. Knowing where the lights, wipers and hazard switch sit means less searching later, at times when a driver would rather keep looking ahead.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone battery drains quickly on a long route, so a charging point is useful. Where hands-free calling is supported, conversations run through the speakers; music playback is a separate function with its own source.
