Comfort and Convenience
Comfort preferences are personal. Height, leg length and posture all change where a driver wants to sit in relation to the wheel and pedals, so two people rarely settle on the same position.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a minute with the lights, wipers and mirrors before moving off means they are not being worked out mid-journey. Preparation is simply knowing where things are when conditions change.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone used for navigation drains quickly on a long drive. Where charging is available on board, keeping the battery topped up is often the practical concern for that particular journey.
