Comfort and Convenience
Preferred driving position varies from person to person, since height, arm length and long-standing habit all shape where someone wants the seat and wheel to sit. Two drivers sharing one car often settle on noticeably different arrangements.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A couple of minutes before setting off, spent locating the lights, wipers, demist and hazard switch, means those functions are already known by the time they are wanted. Preparation here is simply about not learning a car while moving.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged matters most on a long drive when the same phone is doing the navigating. Where a power source is available on board, the practical question is whether the cable reaches a spot where the phone rests steadily.
