Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is personal: some drivers sit high for a clear view of the bonnet, others lower and further back. Height, leg length and simple habit all pull the preference in different directions.
Safety and Driver Assistance
It is worth spending a stationary minute locating the hazard switch, headlight controls and mirror adjusters before setting off. Doing this while parked means nothing has to be searched for once the car is moving.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone that stays charged through a long drive is the common need, particularly when it is running navigation. Where a suitable power outlet or charging point is available, keeping a cable to hand covers it.
