Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature is a good example of how personal comfort is: one person sets it warm and leaves it, another prefers cool air moving constantly. Body size, clothing and the length of the drive all feed into that.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a few minutes with lights, wipers and mirrors before setting off, especially in a car that is still new to the driver, means those functions are already known rather than being hunted for mid-journey.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Arriving with a usable phone battery matters when the same device holds tickets, parking payments and directions. If a charging point is available, a short commute can top it up; if not, the habit shifts to charging at home.
