Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal preference. Some people like sitting high with a clear view over the bonnet, while others prefer a lower, more enclosed feel, so one cabin can suit two drivers quite differently.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a minute with the controls before setting off is worthwhile, particularly in a car that is new to the driver. Knowing where hazard lights, the demister and wiper switches sit means less searching once traffic is moving.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone battery drains quickly on a long drive with navigation running. Where a charging option is available, keeping the phone topped up through the journey is often the most practical thing it does.
