Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal preference: some drivers sit high for a clear view over the bonnet, others lower and further back for a more settled stance. Body proportions and habit explain most of the difference.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a few minutes with wipers, lights, mirrors and climate controls before setting off means fewer things to work out while moving. Preparation is most useful in an unfamiliar car, or after someone else has driven it.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged through the day is a separate need from playing audio or taking calls. Where a charging option is available, it matters most on longer drives, when navigation runs continuously.
