Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating position is personal. Some drivers sit close and upright for a clear view over the bonnet, others further back with arms extended, and height, leg length and long-held habit all shape that choice.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Locating the wipers, lights and demister before setting off means one less thing to search for when conditions change mid-route. A few unhurried minutes parked are enough to place the main switches.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Battery level is the usual city worry, since a phone used for navigation drains quickly across a morning of short hops. Where a charging outlet is available, keeping a suitable cable aboard covers that.
