Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal preference. Height, arm length and how close someone likes to sit to the wheel all vary, so an arrangement that feels natural to one driver can feel awkward to the next.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A minute spent before setting off — finding the lights, wipers, demist and hazard switches — means those functions are already mapped. That kind of preparation belongs to the stationary moment in the car park, not the road.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Charging is its own need, separate from calls or music. Navigation drains a phone across an errand run, so where a cable and the handset itself can sit within reach often matters more than anything else.
