Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal matter: some people prefer to sit high with a wide view of the road, while others like to sit low and closer to the wheel. Height and build explain much of the difference.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A few minutes spent locating the hazard lights, wiper and demister controls before setting off means they are not being searched for later. Preparation of this kind is simplest while the car is stationary.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone battery tends to run down on long days of navigation, so a charging point in the cabin matters more than it once did. Where one is available, it keeps the phone usable at the destination.
