Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating position is personal: some drivers settle upright and close to the wheel, others further back. Torso and leg proportions differ, and so does the habit each person has built over years of driving.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before setting off, it is worth locating wipers, lights, demisters and hazard switches while parked. Unfamiliar weather or a sudden diversion leaves little attention spare for hunting through a menu or an unknown stalk.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone battery is the usual concern on a long drive, since navigation runs continuously. If a suitable charging outlet and cable are available, keeping the handset topped up is simply a matter of packing the right lead.
