Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal preference, since people differ in height and arm reach, so the distance that feels natural at the wheel varies. Someone shorter may sit closer than a taller driver would choose.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Learning where the lights, wipers and mirror controls sit before setting off means less searching once traffic demands attention. A few minutes stationary is usually enough to locate whatever a car offers.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone may need charging during a long trip while music plays, and these remain separate needs: a cable can supply power even where audio or calls run by another route.
