Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is largely personal. Some people prefer to sit low and close to the wheel, others upright with a longer view over the bonnet, and height, leg length and driving habits all feed into that choice.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A few minutes spent locating the hazard switch, headlight control and mirror adjusters before setting off means less searching later, when attention belongs on the road rather than inside the cabin.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Battery level matters on long days out. If a car offers a charging point within reach of the driver's seat, a phone can top up during the journey rather than arriving empty.
