Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating posture varies: some drivers like sitting upright and close to the wheel, others further back with arms extended. Habit, height and driving style shape that choice, so passengers rarely agree either.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Set the mirrors and check how the gear selector, parking brake and demister work before leaving, especially in a car you rarely drive. Five minutes stationary spares you from learning a layout in traffic or rain.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Calls are worth sorting out in advance. If hands-free pairing is available, test it before departure, because voice clarity and microphone placement differ between cars and matter more once road noise rises at speed.
