Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating position is a personal matter: some people sit high and upright for a clear view of the road, others further back with arms extended. Body proportions and long-standing habit explain much of the difference.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Time spent learning where the main controls sit, including lights, wipers, mirrors and the hazard switch, is best taken while stationary. On an unfamiliar route, attention is better spent reading the road than hunting for a button.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Long trips drain a phone quickly, particularly when it is running navigation. Knowing in advance which charging option a car offers, and carrying the matching cable, keeps the handset usable at the far end.
