Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is personal. One driver likes to sit high with the wheel close, another prefers a more reclined posture and extra legroom, and differences in height, build and habit mean no single arrangement suits everyone.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Time spent locating the essentials is better taken before departure than in moving traffic. Hazard lights, demisting and headlight controls are worth finding while parked, especially in an unfamiliar car or after a long gap between trips.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone running navigation for hours drains steadily, so arranging a way to keep it charged is worth doing in advance. Where calls and music are also routed through the car, each is set up separately.
