Comfort and Convenience
How warm the cabin should feel on a shared winter commute differs with clothing. A passenger still in a coat often wants less heat than someone who arrived in lighter layers.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Wiper and demister switches are easier to use on a damp morning when they have already been located before the trip. A quiet moment on the driveway lets those stalks be noticed without the urgency of falling rain.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone that needs topping up during a day of errands is simpler to manage if a power socket sits near a bag. Charging then stays a separate task from calls or playback.
