Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is personal. Height, arm length and how far a driver likes to sit from the wheel all differ, so the setting one person settles on quickly can feel wrong to the next.
Safety and Driver Assistance
It is worth spending a few stationary minutes locating hazard lights, mirrors, demister and horn before setting off, particularly in an unfamiliar car. Preparation done at a standstill is preparation not attempted while moving.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged through a long day is a routine need, since navigation drains a battery quickly. Where a charging option is provided, knowing where it sits saves rummaging at the roadside.
