Comfort and Convenience
Comfort preferences differ because bodies and habits differ: some drivers want an upright posture with a clear view forward, others prefer sitting lower and further back. Neither choice is more correct.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a few minutes with wipers, lights and mirrors while parked makes those controls familiar, so finding them later takes less thought while the car is moving.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged during a long drive is a separate matter from playing music or taking calls; where charging is available, it works alongside audio rather than replacing it.
