Comfort and Convenience
Seating preferences differ because height, leg length and posture vary from person to person. A position that feels natural for one driver can place another too close to the pedals or wheel.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Learning where the lights, wipers and mirror switches sit is easier while parked than in moving traffic. Familiarity means less time spent searching for a control when conditions change.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone battery drain matters on long journeys, since navigation apps consume power quickly. Where a charging outlet is available it keeps the handset usable, which is separate from whether audio plays through the speakers.
