Comfort and Convenience
Seating preference is personal: height, leg length and back shape all change what feels natural behind the wheel. Two people sharing the same car often describe comfort quite differently, so it is worth judging individually rather than by a general rule.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a few minutes parked with the lights, wipers, mirrors and demisting is preparation, not delay. Doing it in daylight means a sudden shower or an unfamiliar road is not the first time you go looking.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Navigation apps drain a phone quickly, so keeping it charged en route is the practical concern on a long day. Where a suitable socket or cable is available, a battery that lasts the whole drive removes one worry.
