Comfort and Convenience
Seating preference is personal. Height, build and the length of a journey all change what feels right, so a position one driver settles into immediately may feel too upright or too low to the next person.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a moment before setting off to locate wipers, lights, hazard switch and demister is simple preparation. Weather and traffic rarely wait, and it is easier to find a control while parked than while moving.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone battery is the everyday concern for many drivers, since navigation drains it quickly on a long day. Where a charging point is within reach of the driver's seat, that worry largely disappears.
