Comfort and Convenience
Seating comfort is personal, because height, leg length and preferred posture differ from one person to the next. A position that suits one driver can feel wrong to another, which is why people keep adjusting over the first few journeys.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a minute with the basic controls before setting off is ordinary preparation. Finding the hazard lights, demister and horn while still parked means less searching later, when attention belongs on the road ahead.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged is a need in its own right, separate from calls or music. A longer drive can drain a battery that is also running navigation, so where a phone can be powered becomes a practical question.
